i think the easiest way is to put the hard drive in and mount it.
then install to it from an existing gentoo system.
ROOT=/mnt/embedded-install emerge SOMEPACKAGE
then you need make the kernel, and copy over the modules or
INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/mnt/embedded-install make modules_install after
compiling the kernel
i am still testing this on my desktop (x86) and my ibook (ppc)

Hello;
I have something that i am working on that i would like to migrate
from
a crusty old rh62 thing to a spanky new gentoo thing.
At it's crudest, it seems to me that i could just install x86
2007.1 up
to stage 3 and be off to a not too bad start.
But there is no way that i need a compiler or anything like that on
the
box so stage3 has more things on it than i need.
I cant imagine that i am the first person on eath that ever wanted to
do something like this.
But i have googled with some degree of vigor over the last few months
and not come up with any sort of succinct list of things to do to
create such a box.
Has anyone created something like this and would they be willing to
share the steps they took to do it?
tnx!
