That "cd image root#" is the command prompt... it's waiting for you to start issuing commands. Which commands are explained in the installation docs on the website. Having recently gone through my first install, the best advice I can give you is follow the instructions *very* carefully. Make sure you understand what you're supposed to do. Some of the concepts presented can get very complicated, so give yourself plenty of time and be (well, try anyway) patient. You can certainly ask questions here, and the gentoo forums (forums.gentoo.org) and fairly helpful too. It might also help to have a linux reference book or two lying around.
Now, this might prove controversial amongst my listmates, but if this is your first exposure ever to linux, you may want to install Mandrake or Red Hat (they have gui installers that guide you through the installation) and play with it for awhile to get to know linux. It's not really the sort of thing you pick up in a day or two. On the other hand, you may be really sharp and all the instructions will be clear as a bell to you... if so, rock on.
Good luck.

I received the Gentoo Linux 1.4 Athlon XP 2cd set. Read the instructions and booted CD1. I pressed F2 for kernel options and the system continued with ?. So I reset and while reading the instructions the system booted 2.4.21 (I would have prefered 2.4.23), but this was ok. Then I selected verbose mode and when it ended I had the following: cd image root# Checked the instructions and didnt find anything about cd image. What am I supposed to tell the system?
As far as I can tell everything that I was concerned about was detected and I should be ok with that.
