Assuming you rebooted, you need to do what it says. Boot a livecd and |
| 33 |
chroot in, then follow the guide I'd imagine. |

| 35 |
(If your rc.conf is totally wack, remerging openrc should |
| 36 |
fix it [and possibly moving your current rc.conf to rc.conf.old or |
| 37 |
similar if it's not working]) |
| 38 |
|

hope that helps. |
