Efibootmgr is not a boot manager, it's an utility to interface with the EFI firmware on the motherboard and you don't need to hardcode the command line on the kernel, look at the -u option of efibootmgr. You can even load an initrd with it by specifying the efi_memmap boot option. I use something like this (it shoulld work with any firmware because Windows uses it): efibootmgr -p 2 -c -b 0001 -l "\EFI\Linux\vmlinuz.efi" -L "Gentoo Linux" -u "root=/dev/sda2 resume=/dev/sda3 quiet splash efi_memmap initrd=/EFI/Linux/initramfs.img" I normally boot directly with the EFI stub because it's slightly faster and prettier (completely graphical) but I also have GRUB2 installed as a separate EFI entry for flexibility in case I need to boot another kernel or play with the command line at boot time. -- Fernando Rodriguez
