31 Is this some sort of LVM thing creeping in? I don't use it but I see
32 signs of it starting to show up on my systems like something is making
33 it come in with new profiles or something.
34
35 I don't know how LVM works but I assume that rootfs and /dev/root have
36 something to do with your main file system? I rebuilt new hardware for
37 my dad yesterday using the default sda1/2/3 setup from the Gentoo
38 AMD64 Install Guide and I see the following:

54 Did you intend to have 3 100MB partitions at the start of your drive
55 and then everything else inside of an extended partition? It's not
56 wrong - it was just unexpected for me.
57
58 Is yours a 1-Terabyte drive?
