Just a follow up to my original question. I've installed grub on
/dev/SDA literally following the quide. And I just realized why I made
/dev/sda1 partition obviously designed for grub? Should I have been
install grub into /dev/sda1? I also have uefi system and I think it
matters. Thanks everyone for clarifications

Is anyone can advice on where to dig. It seems that grub isn't
installed because I can't access it pressing ESC key and I return to
bios. During installation there were no errors reported, the system
installed grub just fine. Also grub.cfg found all my kernels and
ramdisks? Thanks for any suggestion. What would you do?
If you have your /dev/sda only for Gentoo, you would install grub into
/dev/sda and have /dev/sda1 for /boot, for example:
/dev/sda1: /boot
/dev/sda2: /
The bios will load grub from mbr of /dev/sda and since you specify that
grub can find it's stuff on /dev/sda1 (root), it can continue to find
the kernel, etc.. Once found, it can load the kernel and mount root,
because it's the kernel parameter.
For example:
root(hd0,0)
setup (hd0)

You can also have your /boot and / on the same partition.
