http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/gentoo/releases/x86/current/stages/i686/ I decided to use Stage 1 while installing CD and now I am stuck because only stage 2 and 3 are on the mirror. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Stage 1 is in http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/gentoo/releases/x86/current/stages/x86/ There are no i686/athlon-xp/whatever stages1 out there because it's pointless.
Then I suggest for it to be explained in the gentoo installation guide. It's said one should visit the mirrors but it's not said into which directories one should go. When I go into the one which seem intuitive to me, it's wrong.
