I wanted to boot into the install so I shut the live cd off. It just sents me back to my boot menu screen, the drive won't boot. The drive still has the partitions (lsblk via live cd). So the drive still works probabilly. And The mounting of the volume doesn't work so I can't chroot and install grub or try to fix it. Could someone help me?

#

It won't mount

Please follow the Standard Litany when asking a question:
• What was your environment? What was your operating system, configuration?
• What did you do? What did you run or test? Where?
• What actually happened? What were the exact results, complete log contents, exact error messages?
• What did you expect? What were you aiming to achieve? What result were you looking for?

Vague or superficial questions will yield vague or superficial answers. False information leads to false solutions.

What was your environment: gentoo, just installed it via linux mint live CD
What did I do? follow the gentoo install guide(maybe I skipped bootloader by accident?)
I expected the device to boot into my newly installed gentoo distro i just compiled
What happened? The drive won't boot, I think the partitions are still in tact but I can't even mount them

#

when in /mnt

#

and then

#

ls

#

I get nothing

Even if you forgot to install a bootloader, I think you might be able to try and boot the EFI stub unless you disabled it or it was disabled by default during compilation

Wait wait wait

#

gentoo via a linux mint cd?

#

use the gentoo iso not some BS third party installer
