Thanks again for your response. After compiling I get the prompt: live cd # ~ I do not know what command to use to boot the install. I looked through the manual but I did not see an answer for this. The directions seemed to apply to a very different install scenario.
PS My motherboard or whatever was preventing the computer from powering on resolved itself as as mysteriously as it occurred. -------------------------------------------- On Sat, 9/24/16, Rich Freeman <[email protected]> wrote: Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] New Install To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, September 24, 2016, 1:19 PM On Sat, Sep 24, 2016 at 12:15 PM, Christopher Robinson <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thank you for at least responding to my question.

But, I'm not sure what "I could not boot" actually means. Do you get an error message? What state does the system end up in? -- Rich
