Hi,
Yes, this worked for booting.
rc-update add net.rth0 default gave
'already installed in runlevel default'
and
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
'dhcpd:missing required function interface_is_up'
The final message is the same as vI receive when booting.

I see that it was split into two lines at the space between 8192 and
real_root when it came back to me through the mail list handler and my
mail client. Probably happened to you also. As " real_root=/dev/hda3
udev " are kernel arguments they need to be on the same line as "kernel".
This should solve the first problem.
Make the change above to grub.conf .
Reboot.
I think the second problem is not related to the first. There is
probably a problem with the network settings. Page 40 to 46 of the
amd64 gentoo handbook are a good start on the networking problem.
Short summary follows. My best guess is that adding dhcpcd to rc is
necessary and not documented.
May I suggest (presuming your intent was to have the network mount
automatically and you connect via ethernet):
Run the command:
dir /sbin/dh*
If the response is "/sbin/dhcpcd" then the dhcp client demon is
installed. If "No such file or directory" error occurs, dhcpcd needs
to be emerged. (Or you wanted to use some other dhcp client.)
Run the command: (modified if you wanted to use and have emerged some
other dhcp client.)
rc-update add dhcpcd default
nano -w /etc/conf.d/hostname
and
(Set the HOSTNAME variable to your hostname)
HOSTNAME="yourcomputername"
nano -w /etc/conf.d/domainname
(Set the DNSDOMAIN variable to your domain name)
DNSDOMAIN="yourhomenetworkname"rc-update add domainname defaultnano -w
/etc/conf.d/net
(should be blank or all lines commented)
rc-update add net.eth0 default
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start

Now it boots but asksme to
'specifya device to boot' it boots when I enter 'dev/hda3'. It is
specified in 'grub.conf' and 'fstab'. Any ideas?
Also, I get 'dhcpd:required function 'interface _is_up' but
networking isn't working. And, I get 'netmount not started'. Are
these issues related. Can you help?
Regards,
Gavin.
