1 i think the easiest way is to put the hard drive in and mount it.
2 then install to it from an existing gentoo system.
3
4 ROOT=/mnt/embedded-install emerge SOMEPACKAGE
5
6 then you need make the kernel, and copy over the modules or
7
8 INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/mnt/embedded-install make modules_install after
9 compiling the kernel
10
11 i am still testing this on my desktop (x86) and my ibook (ppc)
