The handbook instructions list the mounting of /mnt/gentoo/proc in section 4.e of the handbook, before the extraction of the stages in section 5. This causes tar to produce the warning 'tar: ./proc/.keep: Cannot open: No such file or directory'. This warning although not serious, can cause confusion with a new user. This section should be moved down, most likely to section 6.a. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.tar -xvjpf stage1-sparc64-2004.1.tar.bz2 Actual Results: <snip> ./proc/ ./proc/.keep tar: ./proc/.keep: Cannot open: No such file or directory ./root/ ./root/.keep tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
I've kept the proc-mounting where it is currently (my weird logic PoV thinks that mounting stuff should remain under "Mounting" :) and added a note that these warnings can be safely ignored. This also fixes other bugreports from ppl asking (on #gentoo) what the "Error exit delayed" message is and what they should do about it.
