OK, been staring at this terminal for about an hour. I'm at r...@sysresccd /mnt/gentoo where sda1 is mounted. Do I just mount sdb1 on /mnt/gentoo too? Do I delete home and var then mkdirs on sdb2? Won't they just be re-made on the same partition, sda1? I've already unpacked portage on sdb1(mounted on usr), not a problem, I can just delete it. But why is it when I umount sdb1 from usr and mount it under /mnt/gentoo I can't see portage under /mnt/gentoo? It's there when I mount sdb1 on usr. Do I need to fdisk /dev/sdb with all the relevant partitions? Then I'll have one big 4G partition on the SSD and a lot of little partitions on the 8G SD, no? mw
