Nevermind the last message. I'll put this problem aside until I find the
time to solve it on my own.

It doesn't sound as hard as I thought. I'm tired of fighting genkernel.
I know the problem is initrd, it's where it fails.  Since there is no
mkinitcpio package, I'll try those scripts. I will follow
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Early_Userspace_Mounting. If something goes
wrong (when I actually try), I'll make a new thread. Or maybe I will
just try and copy the initrd and kernel image from the Gentoo recovery
pen...

Anyway, I'll post here when I figure it out.
