Hello all,
has the default been changed from BIOS to EFI?
Do I have to, e.g. set the platform USE flag and reinstall the humongous
grub package or is there an option I can pass to grub-install?

I see I have this:
CONFIG_EFI=y
CONFIG_EFI_STUB=y
CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=y
... or will I have to rebuild my kernel?
Surely genkernel would have determined that I have a BIOS system....
wouldn't it have?

Well, I discovered that this works:
*grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sda*
Although that is an UNDOCUMENTED option! It's dropped from the --help menu.
I found it in the --help on an old system.
Amazing how these things just disappear.

It shows both in --help and in the man page for my up-to-date grub.
