I think you're asking if it's safe to stop, unmount everything, shutdown |
| 10 |
the machine, and then start where you left off? Yes, it is. That's |
| 11 |
basically what we all do when we reboot for the first time and the |
| 12 |
kernel can't find /dev/root. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Within the chroot, just type `exit` to escape the chroot. Then `cd` to |
| 15 |
the root of the boot CD and `umount` everything in the opposite order. So, |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
umount /mnt/gentoo/proc |
| 18 |
umount /mnt/gentoo/dev |
| 19 |
umount /mnt/gentoo/boot |
| 20 |
umount /mnt/gentoo |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
and any other partitions you have. Then shut it down. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
The next day, boot to the CD, mount everything again, and then chroot in. |
