Fresh install of gentoo as guest vm on win7 Configured kernel, fdisked like so:
/dev/sda1 boot /dev/sda2 swap /dev/sda3 / set boot as bootable emerged various things... emerged grub and ran it grub root (hd0,0) setup (hd0,0) bla bla [...] succeeded Edited fstab /dev/sda1 /boot [...] /dev/sda2 swap [...] /dev/sda3 / [...] [...] But, when I remove the livecd and attempt to boot from hdd, its a total failure: FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted So it appears that as has always been the case, there is some PITA stopping up the works. So what is the trick here... one googled result says to boot with something containing gparted and set the boot partition bootable.. that cfdisk doesn't work. I used fdisk... is there anything to that claim.. or better yet what do I need to do here.
