One thing I could not understand :- swap partition without indication of “swap” after “Linux and there is no “#” sign under “Boot” on /dev/hde1

You've got to change the type of partition for the swap partition to type 82 (which is linux
swap) using the fdisk 't' command. I'm sure this needs to be done before the swap
partition can be mounted with swapon.


Similarly, to mark a partition as bootable, you've got to use the fdisk 'a' command.
You will then be prompted for a partition number.


Hopefully, the rest of the commands will then work. The installation guide on
gentoo.org does a pretty good job of explaining the partitioning process.

Illegal instruction
