Yes, that's what I use. Once your kernel is complete, with ramdisk etc., make a copy of /boot somewhere, then "bootctl install", copy the loader.conf from your copy, then "bootctl update". Older versions of bootctl used to create a /boot// directory, where nn was a 32-digit hex number, in which we were supposed to put our boot entries: far too complex for Gentoo, so I just deleted that directory. -- Regards, Peter.
