Actually, I used the most recent one - I think May 26th,  However, my first
install (that I screwed up on was the May 25th one, but I got the same
message.  Don't know if it makes a difference, but I used a tarball for x86.

Think I'll try the fix that I found on google first before attempting to
find a stage 3 tarball that is not faulty.

BTW, I can't recall from previous installs when I'm supposed to do this, but
I thought that baselayout got emerged somewhere during the install prior to
rebooting.  There was no place in the handbook that mentioned installing
baselayout ...... and yes, I did read the news item about baselayout2 and
openrc migration.
