RE: [gentoo-dev] Build Instructions

[Sean P. Kane]

Normally you should just be able to boot from the cdrom, run net and
pci-setup, mount your partitions (you may need to fsck them depending on
your fs of choice), chroot, and process from where you left off. This
will vary depending on where you failed.....Remember to mount your toot,
boot, and swap partitions, plus any others.
