Installing Gentoo on my XTR continues and is starting to go well. So far what I have done is extracted the Gentoo livecd.cloop which is a compressed ext2 file system. You must extract it with cloop v 0.66-1. Just like in the Gentoo instructions to install Gentoo in UML on top of a RH install.
http://www.omote.com/gentoo/install-in-uml.html I them mounted the uncompressed livecd image to my /nfsroot-x86 nfs share. mount -t loop livecd /nfsroot-x86 I then had to modify the /nfsroot-x86/etc/inittab file. Commenting out all terminals and adding the following line. 1:12345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --noclear --autologin root ttyS0 115200 When I boot the XTR it mounts my nfs share and gets me to the point where I can install Gentoo. Terrific I am stoked. Now on to partitioning, formating, activating the raid and the array, mounting the new file systems and going on with the rest of a normal Gentoo install. I will keep you all up to date on successes and failures. Whether you all care or not? -- Sincerely, William L.
