Not sure. Will investigate. |

Would prefer not to. I want to keep the current boot as default as I |
| 28 |
need to work during the day. Once I get the AAD booting I might be |
| 29 |
open to rearranging things but at that point I assume I won't have to. |

Will keep in mind. |

After writing the first note it dawned on me that if the live system |
| 37 |
copy had worked as per the Arch Linux doc then I should have been able |
| 38 |
to chroot into the SSD. Unfortunately it didn't work so I blew away |
| 39 |
the SSD and started over from scratch with a clean install using the |
| 40 |
Gentoo AMD64 Install Guide. I haven't tried chrooting into it yet. |
| 41 |
Maybe this evening. |

Thanks for the ideas. |
