+We recommend that you use the default layout. Press enter at the dialog, then |
| 166 |

| 167 |

+Here, we'll refrain from using the automatic layout, and create one giant root |
| 190 |
+partition, followed by a swap partition. Hit <b>c</b> to create a new |
| 191 |
+partition. A dialog prompts you to enter a size. Go ahead and do so, using |
| 192 |
+MB/GB for setting different sizes, or C for cylinders. For root, choose FS as |
| 193 |
+the partition type, and set the mount point as <path>/mnt/gentoo</path>. <e>If |
| 194 |
+you do not adjust the mount point, it will overwrite the FreeSBIE |
| 195 |
+environment!</e>. As <path>/boot</path> is not a separate partition, you'll |
| 196 |
+need to disable soft-updates, or your system will not boot! To do so, use the |
| 197 |
+arrow keys to navigate to your newly created partition, then hit the <b>s</b> |
| 198 |
+key, until "Newfs" contains no <b>+S</b>. Now navigate the arrow keys until |
| 199 |
+the "Disk" line is highlighted, and hit <b>c</b> again to create a swap |
| 200 |
+partition. Generally, we recommend a swap space that is twice the size of your |
| 201 |
+RAM. Choose SWAP as the partition type, and don't worry about soft-updates, as |
| 202 |
+it does not apply to swap. Now we're finished, so hit <b>q</b> to finish the |
| 203 |
+process. |

+This file is used by the kernel drivers for basic configuration information |

| 389 |
+instance GENERIC) to copy over the required build files to a |
| 390 |
+<path>compile</path> directory in the parent directory. <path>GENERIC</path> is |
| 391 |
+similiar to the <path>.config</path> file for the Linux kernel. Run |

| 428 |
+background. To begin, emerge <c>grub</c> and setup the label as bootable. |
| 429 |
+Remember to replace <c>adXsY</c> with the actual number and slice of your disk. |
