The line "mkdir /mnt/gentoo" is not needed during the instructions. /mnt/gentoo already exists. It's in the "4.e. Mounting" section.
Release folks, is the /mnt/gentoo mountpoint present on all the installation media?
It should be, yes. However, it might be best to change it to "mkdir -p /mnt/gentoo" to ensure that it will always be there, and also to keep users from getting errors if it already is present.

See why we need a full listing of *all* media contents? Only the ppc{64} handbooks have this mkdir statement. ppc64 hasn't got any /mnt/gentoo and we can check ourselves thanks to the install-ppc64-*-2006.0.iso.CONTENTS files that are available on the mirrors. ppc32? No idea, can't check because the install-ppc-*-2006.0.iso.CONTENTS only list: """ boot boot/boot boot/boot.msg boot/map.hfs boot/menu boot/ofboot.b boot/pegasos boot/ppc32 boot/ppc32.igz boot/yaboot boot/yaboot.conf Getting_Online.txt image.squashfs livecd README.txt """ which is utterly useless. Unless anyone feels like downloading both ISOs, loopmounts them and inspects the squashfs image, we'll have no other choice but to use `mkdir -p /mnt/gentoo` in the PPC handbook.

We really should provide a list of commands somewhere, how to create every file.

The ppc-CD provides the /mnt/gentoo directory.
This bug also applies to when you would like to load filesystem-modules, for example i now can't mount my HFS+ partition where i've backuped some gentoo files!
Upps Comment #5, is an error, have mismatched browser windows :-(

(In reply to comment #7) > So, should we take out the mkdir /mnt/gentoo command or not? Yep, take it out.
Fixed in draft!
