The handbook is fine, but doesn't cover the FreeBSD install. I was
almost able to do it by finding a FreeBSD 8.x live CD pulling down an
8.x stage 3 tarball, but too much of @system is broken for me to do
anything after the chroot.

Can't install boot0 because Perl is broken, so I try grub. But first, I
have to fix xz-utils so that I can unpack it. But first, I have to fix
binutils because ld crashes building a new xz-utils. But first, I have
to fix GCC because it can't build binutils. But first, I have to fix
glibc so that GCC works. But firFORGET IT I'M GOING OUTSIDE.

2011-04-11 Thread Michael Orlitzky 
Has anyone successfully set up a Gentoo/FBSD system in the
somewhat-recent past? I'd like to do some testing, but all of the
install docs are out of date.

I'd appreciate a thirty-second overview of how you did it.
