I was thinking I'd need probably to start over some. Like at the
bootstrap.

So I've got a bunch of stuff optimized for a P3, labeled i486? Sounds
like no problem for the computer, but something that might bite a human
(me) bad as soon as I forget.

I know there are no evil hackers at Gentoo -- they're all over at Grub
working on jokes to play on Linux installers. Did you know that Grub
calls all disks "hd" no matter whether they're IDE or SCSI? That's a
