You do not only need to mount it with notail, you need to write all files with notail in the first place. So ... 1. boot from CD 2. mount -o notail /dev/hda1 /mount/gentoo 3. tar czf /tmp/boot.tar.gz /mount/gentoo/* 4. rm -rf /mount/gentoo/* 5. tar xzf /tmp/boot.tar.gz -C /mount/gentoo/ Or you switch to ext2 because you do not need a filesystem with journal on a partition that doesn't need to be bigger than 50MB.
