1 Today I tried to install Gentoo Linux 1.0_rc4_pre2 .
2 I am not very familiar with linux and followed the installation guide
3 step by step.
4 The vi confrontation in step 4 had an additional quirk for me because
5 of the german keyboard layout. ( colon is uppercase o-umlaut) ....
6 But the stopper was step 5:
7 At the GRUB prompt I typed:
8 root (hd0,12)
9 setup (hd0,11)
10 and grub said checking for /boot/grub/stage1
11 and /grub/stage1 file not found
12
13 rc 15
14
15 According to the install guide the directory is /boot/boot/grub/
16 where the stage1 file actually is.
17
18 What can I do?
