>From my experience with UEFI systems: Windows no longer messes your boot
completely (it just sets up the default entry to BCD loader) and you can
just select linux loader from the startup menu. So you don't really need to
have a minimal cd image. Just switch default boot entry back to grub in
UEFI
FYI, the windows installer added an entry to the EFI boot loader (as
Boot), but left Gentoo as the active entry;
# efibootmgr
BootCurrent: 0003
Timeout: 15 seconds
BootOrder: 0003,,0008,0007,0001,0002
Boot* Windows Boot Manager
Boot0001* Hard Drive
Boot0002* Network Card
Boot0003* 980G
