My typing error. The partitions are:
hda1 ext2 /boot where grub resides
hda2 ext3 / KRUD install
hda3 XFS / gentoo install
The mount command and response were correct, the note about
root file system was in error.

OK. Hmm. When I tried this I found no place where
> make menuconfig
gave me an option to set XFS. Grepping the .config file for
XFS only returns:
# CONFIG_VXFS_FS is not set
Does this mean that I *don't* have XFS support? Or that I
chose a kernel where it is built in? At any rate, I've
removed all the other file system options except those listed
in the install docs as required for Gentoo and am rebuilding.

Unless you mean:
dd if=/boot/bzImage of=/dev/fd0
I have no idea what you are talking about. But no, I did not
make a floppy.

Trying that now. Slow machine, though.
