The bootstrap finished I was doing the "emerge --fetchonly system" but I got "-bash: emerge: command not found" I looked at the lights on the pig tail of my NIC (DARK!!!!) I tried configuring eth0 again using "net-setup eth0" but I get the following message after I put in the Gateway address. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ SIOCSIFADDR: No such device eht0: unknown intervace: No such device Type "ifconfig" to make sure the interface was configured correctly. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ============================================= ifconfig lo Link encap:Local Looopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 ... ifconfig eth0 eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found ============================================= What the heck do I do now? Restart the computer and pickup where I left off? I'm not sure what all needs to be done when I restart the machine. I've made a list of what I think I need to do... Restart and configure the NIC again, then... 1. The file system is in place so I need to # swapon /dev/hda2 # mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo # mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot # mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc # mount -o bind /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc 2. I have all the files in place so I need to # mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev # chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash # env-update # source /etc/profile 3. Then I can continue on ... # emerge --fetchonly system # emerge system 4.Continue with the install...
