Hi,

I tried installing UEFI GPT too a few months ago, but I had a semi success.
After some days of fiddeling around with parameters and variables I could
boot the system, but I can't see the kernel output or open-rc. But the X
loads and the system works after that like normal, but without the textual
ttys. terminal emulations like xterm or so work. So I would install it
again, but it isn't as easy as thought.
