• sys-boot/milo::gentoo - Ebuilds: 1, Testing: 2.4.18
  Description: On Intel based PC systems, the BIOS firmware sets up the system and then loads the image to be run from the boot block of a DOS file system. This is more or less what MILO does on an Alpha based system, however there are several interesting differences between BIOS firmware and MILO, not least of which is that MILO includes and uses standard Linux device drivers unmodified. MILO is firmware, unlike LILO, which relies on the BIOS firmware to get itself loaded.

  Description: Plymouth is an application that runs very early in the boot process (even before the root filesystem is mounted!) that provides a graphical boot animation while the boot process happens in the background. It is designed to work on systems with DRM modesetting drivers. Ideally, the goal is to get rid of all flicker during startup. For systems that don't have DRM mode settings drivers, plymouth falls back to text mode.

• sys-boot/refind::gentoo - Ebuilds: 1, Stable: 0.14.2-r4
  Description: A graphical boot manager for EFI- and UEFI-based computers, such as all Intel-based Macs and recent (most 2011 and later) PCs. rEFInd presents a boot menu showing all the EFI boot loaders on the EFI-accessible partitions, and optionally BIOS-bootable partitions on Macs and BIOS boot entries on UEFI PCs with CSMs. EFI-compatbile OSes, including Linux, provide boot loaders that rEFInd can detect and launch. rEFInd can launch Linux EFI boot loaders such as ELILO, GRUB Legacy, GRUB 2, and 3.3.0 and later kernels with EFI stub support. EFI filesystem drivers for ext2/3/4fs, ReiserFS, Btrfs, NTFS, HFS+, and ISO-9660 enable rEFInd to read boot loaders from these filesystems, too. rEFInd's ability to detect boot loaders at runtime makes it very easy to use, particularly when paired with Linux kernels that provide EFI stub support.
