It does. You need to load the modules for your scsi device and disks. |
| 12 |
For me it was: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
#modprobe sym53c8xx |
| 15 |
#modprobe sd_mod |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Then run fdisk. |

In this case you can just download the tarball with wget: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
wget http://www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/distfiles/portage-1.6.11.tar.bz2 |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Also, have a look at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/faq.html. It explains |
| 27 |
how to get around the issue of a firewall. |

I would try editing make.globals, especially: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
USE_ORDER="env:conf:auto:defaults" |
| 36 |
#proxy settings PROXY(both), or HTTP_PROXY/FTP_PROXY |
| 37 |
#PROXY=freebox.gentoo.org:3128 |
| 38 |
#HTTP_PROXY= |
| 39 |
#FTP_PROXY= |
| 40 |
GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://www.ibiblio.org/gentoo" |
| 41 |
SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Then change them to point to your lcoal mirror. |
