I want to boot Windows from GRUB or LILO but it shows
only black screen. What should I do?
+
+ How do I Install Gentoo Using a Stage1 or Stage2
+ Tarball?

-
-Although it might be tempting for non-stage1 users, they should not
-change the CHOST setting in make.conf. Doing so might render
-their system unusable. Again: only change this variable if you use a
-stage1 installation.

-
-
-The CHOST variable defines what architecture gcc has to
-compile programs for. The possibilities are:

- Architecture |
- Subarchitecture |
- CHOST Setting |

- i386
- i386-pc-linux-gnu

- i486
- i486-pc-linux-gnu

-Please, make sure that you use the correct CHOST setting. For instance,
-the CHOST setting for sparc64 still is sparc-unknown-linux-gnu and
-not sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu!
-
-
-Users interested in bootstrapping their entire system with NPTL support on an
-x86 system need to set their CHOST to i586-pc-linux-gnu or higher.
+The CHOST variable declares the target build host for your system. This
+variable should already be set to the correct value. Do not edit
+it as that might break your system. If the CHOST variable does
+not look correct to you, you might be using the wrong stage3 tarball.
