Thank you everyone for your kind offers. I went ahead with |
| 23 |
systemrescuecd and if you choose the right kernel (vmlinuz-something?) |
| 24 |
you boot right into Gentoo! I did try the minimal 2008.0 LiveCD but |
| 25 |
it appears it is still broken. From that bug discussion, it sounds |
| 26 |
like it won't be fixed. |

I should also mention that I couldn't get anything to boot on my USB |
| 29 |
key until I ran fdisk on it, even though it was pre-formatted. |
