Just installed 1.4rc2, stage 1. I followed the 1.4rc2 docs to a T, outside of adding some reiserfs/xfs stuff and ppoe. When I get to the point where it says "passwd" to set root passwd, I get a command not found error. Grub and lilo do not exist either. I looked in all the usual places, /bin,/sbin and their /usr equivilants. If it matters I have the following mounts: hda1 / ext2 500MB hda2 swap hda3 /usr ext3 6.5GB hda5 /home ext3 1GB hda6 /tmp ext3 1GB hda7 /var ext3 500MB
The documentation was confusing previously and I think that you did not do an "emerge system" which was needed. The docs should now be fixed but I'm forwarding this issue to ZhEN for clarification.
I will look into this.
did you do a source /etc/profile after entering the chroot? //zhen
Yes, I did. I believe the problem was as Daniel Robbins pointed out. The old docs seemed to imply that once you were done with the stage 1 tarball that you had the equivalent of a finished stage 2...so I skipped everything in stage 2. ie: I didn't do a emerge system.
Ah, okay. There have been several issues like this one, and I have since changed the docs so that they are clearer. //zhen
Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux". I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers, this is the only reasonable way to do this.
