You do not sound very cheery Rick. :-D
Be patient, you will get it working. Try this:
cat /usr/src/linux/.config |grep DEVFS
You should see something like this:
CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y
CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT=y
If not, go to /usr/src/linux/ and run make menuconfig and go to "File
systems --->", then set these:
[*] /dev file system support (EXPERIMENTAL)
[*] Automatically mount at boot
Build your kernel again (per the gentoo instructions) and save your old
/boot/bzImage and copy the new one from
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage to /boot/bzImage and reboot.
If those were already there, or it still does not want to play, you may
want to copy /usr/src/linux/.config to /root/ and run make mrproper
from /usr/src/linux/ then copy .config back to /usr/src/linux/ and try
the rebuild/copy/reboot again.
A quick prayer might help, too. :-)

Almost ready to throw out gentoo. I cannot get devfsd to start. Since it
will not
start or load itself, I have no printing, and without printing the whole
thing is
useless. Now I have done all of the hoop jumping, 2 dozen kernel
recompiles and
different checks all over. I have yet to find any info on where the
"devfsd /dev"
command is to be put within the system startup scripts. Is there anyone
who
knows, or is this a special secret. Help is appreciated, as time for me
is
running out.
cheers
