Based on that, I think I'll stay away from the -9999's then.  I was able to get 
2.0.6.916 working with either of two work arounds, so heading off to git land 
for this is a bit more fun than I'm allowed to have...

Opened:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374297

Just for laughs (I've been told I have an odd sense of humor...), I went back 
and ran installcd-stage1 with gentoo-sources included (cleaned everything up 
from installcd-stage[12] first of course), and removed the mkdir I added in 
kmerge.sh.  Worked fine as long as source was in installcd-stage1, so I've 
amended my bug report to reflect that.  Also included the one-liner patch to 
make it work without source in installcd-stage1.


One more minor thing I ran into:  

/usr/lib64/catalyst/targets/support/create-iso.sh: line 233: mkdosfs: command 
not found
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

`emerge sys-fs/dosfstools` of course fixed that right up.  Is that something I 
should open against Catalyst itself in "Gentoo Hosted Projects," or does that 
go to "Gentoo Linux" for the ebuild?


I've got a nice little ISO file built now.  Time to throw a VM at it and see 
how much of a mess I've made of things...


Thanks also for the pointer about udev.  Anything that saves me a wild goose 
chase is always appreciated.

Best regards,
Zac Bedell
