Research direction
Start with the boot entry and efibootmgr commands shown in the issue, then trace how shim handles the supplied boot parameters and selects an executable. Done means the Gentoo boot entry loads the specified kernel or bootloader path instead of trying to load a nonexistent grub executable.

Description
I'm trying to boot my gentoo system with shim. My boot entry is
Boot0003* Gentoo via Shim HD(1,GPT,c12a7328-f81f-11d2-ba4b-00a0c93ec93b,0x800,0x200000)/File(\EFI\gentoo\shimx64.efi)bzImage.efi and I also tried \EFI\gentoo\bzImage.efi instead of just bzImage.efi, but despite that, it only tries to load the grub executable, which doesn't exist on my system. I'm following the Gentoo wiki and it states for systemd-boot efibootmgr --disk /dev/sda --part 1 --create --label "Systemd-boot via Shim" --loader '\EFI\systemd\shimx64.efi' --unicode '\EFI\systemd\systemd-bootx64.efi', I'm doing the same, just for my kernel
