16 Hello Richard,
17
18 I looked at my boot logs, and I does appear that USB storage does get
19 initialized before SATA. When I tried root=/dev/sda3, I got a similar
20 error - only this one says it cannot read from sda3 (I did try other
21 letters, and they all failed). I am beginning to think that the only
22 way it will be possible to get a working Gentoo system on my computer is
23 to open it up and install some more hard drives.

25 Anyway, thanks you your advice and help.

27 Regards,
28 Chris
