The Gentoo Basic Installation CD is quite buggy. Just a few errors
noticed while starting:

1. "/proc/splash: No such file or directory"
2. The bash history buffer is full of commands issued by the developer

Okay, 1. and 2. where rather cosmetic, the stopping issues are really
annoying: Rebooting or halting "doesn't work" (tested on a Acer
Laptop, IBM NetVista and a VMware host).

It hangs at various stages: "stopping USB and PCI hotplugging" or
while shutting down the "lo" interface. A test installation under
VMware went successfully until the final reboot:

"/sbin/rc: line 151: /bin/sync: No such file or directory"
"/sbin/rc: line 151: /bin/sync: No such file or directory"
"/sbin/rc: line 1: /prc/cmdline: No such file or directory"
"/sbin/rc: line 153: /sbin/sulogin: No such file or directory"
"/sbin/rc: line 151: /sbin/reboot: No such file or directory"

So it's not possible to reboot a freshly installed Gentoo box
successfully at all!

Sorry, what happened? RC4 was perfect...
