1 I think that there's a mistake in the build docs. Sorry, I'm doing this
2 from memory.

4 The instructions say to do:
5
6 mkdir -p /mnt/gentoo/boot
7 mount /dev/hda5 /mnt/gentoo
8 mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo
9
10 That won't work as posted. It should probably be:
11
12 mkdir -p /mnt/gentoo
13 mount /dev/hda5 /mnt/gentoo
14 mkdir -p /mnt/gentoo/boot
15 mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
16
17 It's a chicken-egg problem where /boot can't be created until the
18 initial mount of the root fs.

20 My friend's machine is still cranking away. I'll post results when it
21 finishes...
