Mark, I rm'ed all of it and created a new vm again. did all the |
| 12 |
steps with /dev and the rest of normal install. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
This time around the vm cannot find any media to boot from although I |
| 15 |
created boot and all that with grub etc. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I even added the `init 1' line you suggested... but since the media is |
| 18 |
not found when I try to boot into the vm... of course it does nothing. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
So, enough time wasted.. I'm sorry to cave on you when you asked for a |
| 21 |
result of the init 1 parameter.... |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I don't have any idea where to look for the problem of not finding the |
| 24 |
media but probably some kind of pilot error. |

I need to get some work done with a vm so going with debian. |
| 27 |

| 28 |
Its working now... tarsnap server is ready to be setup for tarsnap. |
| 29 |
Done it about 1/2 hour. |

I really appreciate your kind patience.. and have kept the thread for |
| 32 |
next time I get the urge to create a gentoo vm. Very good input and |
| 33 |
it does not go to waste since I seem to end up trying a gentoo vm |
| 34 |
guest every few mnths. |
