What I am reading so far:

I did a google search and found some others boot this is more Gentoo
oriented. So, anything wrong with this as a guide? Pointers to
others if they are better would be great.
Here starts a learning process. It could get bumpy. lol

Oops, typo up there. Should read "I did a google search and found some
others *but* this is more Gentoo oriented." Hey, I got the first and
last right. lol
While I am at this. I just noticed something else. I think this
changed after the openrc upgrade.

Now usually when I boot into a dual OS, I go to a console and type in
mount and make certain of what drive / is mounted too. Example for
this, if mounted to sda* then it is my main OS and if mounted to sdb*
then it is my test install. How does one decipher that up there? Heck,
root could be mounted on anything right now. I'm not going to remove
any partitions right now. I could be running off sdb and not even know
it. o_O
