Yes, I know that. No problem, when I boot from that stick, I do that via
EFI, so I get the correct environment.

Yes ;-)
I do that for days now. What puzzles me:
I get the entries into EFI: when I boot I see the entries created by
efibootmgr, but when I chose one of the entries pointing to "GRUB2" or
"gentoo" the PC tells me that the disk isn't bootable.
And I still don't know what is missing. AFAIK that EFI system partition
is allowed to be within the first 2 TB of the disk (easy on my 1 TB
hdd), has to have the boot-flag set (in parted-terms), and must be type
EF02. When EFI doesn't find something bootable on the disk, my
interpretation is that it can't find that partition?
