GRUB_PLATFORMS="efi-64"

Installation

EFI

Code: Assuming following GPT partition layout 
/dev/sda1	200 MiB	/boot/efi	EF00	vfat		EFI System Partition
/dev/sda2	500 MiB	/boot		8300	ext4		Linux filesystem
/dev/sda3	512 MiB			8200	swap		Linux swap
/dev/sda4	25  GiB	/		8300	ext4		Linux filesystem
# mount /boot
# mount /boot/efi
# grub-install --efi-directory=/boot/efi --no-floppy --recheck

efibootmgr

# efibootmgr
BootCurrent: 0001
BootOrder: 0004,0000,0001,0002,0003
Boot0000* EFI SCSI Hard Drive
Boot0001* EFI IDE CD/DVD Drive
Boot0002* EFI Network
Boot0003* EFI Internal Shell (Unsupported option)
Boot0004* exherbo
SET ACTIVE
# efibootmgr --bootnum 0004 --active
DELETE
# efibootmgr --bootnum 0004 --delete-bootnum

GPT/MBR

Code: Assuming following GPT partition layout 
/dev/sda1	1   MiB		EF02	BIOS boot	BIOS boot partition
/dev/sda2	100 MiB	/boot	8300	ext4		Linux filesystem
/dev/sda3	512 MiB		8200	swap		Linux swap
/dev/sda4	25  GiB	/	8300	ext4		Linux filesystem
# mount /boot
# grub-install --recheck --no-floppy /dev/sda

Generate grub.cfg

Warning: Running the following command will overwrite any changes in grub.cfg you manually made.
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Configuration

Note: Manual grub2 configuration should always happen in /etc/default/grub and/or /etc/grub.d/40_custom.

Optional: Additional Kernel Parameters

File: /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi=off"

Regenerate your grub.cfg for the changes to take effect.

Optional: Theme

File: /etc/default/grub
GRUB_THEME=/boot/efi/EFI/grub/themes/starfield/theme.txt
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=gfxterm

If your display resolutions isn't automatically detected you can manually force a specific resolution.

File: /etc/default/grub
GRUB_GFXMODE=1600x1200

Regenerate your grub.cfg for the changes to take effect.

Optional: Serial Console

File: /etc/default/grub
GRUB_TERMINAL=serial
GRUB_SERIAL=COMMAND="serial --unit=0 --speed=57600 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,57600"

Regenerate your grub.cfg for the changes to take effect.

If you want to be able to login to your system via the serial console you need to edit /etc/inittab.

File: /etc/inittab

Uncomment the s0 entry and change the speed to your needs.
