I am very new to this but would it not be better to change sda1 to sda3 here: # Mount the root filesystem. mount -o ro /dev/sda1 /mnt/root There reason I see is that according to the gentoo handbook: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?chap=4&part=1 sda3 is the root Partition Filesystem Size Description /dev/sda1 ext2 32M Boot partition /dev/sda2 (swap) 512M Swap partition /dev/sda3 ext3 Rest of the disk Root partition I am very new to this so maybe I am dead wrong.

What is the meaning, in your opinion, of this line: mount -o ro /dev/sda1 /mnt/root Is it to mount the /boot or the / I have full understanding if you do not want to waste your time on an unofficial wiki, but I just felt it might be more than me that use this wiki.

To discuss wiki pages, it is best to use that wiki's Talk: namespace, like http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Talk:Initramfs in this case
