It looks to me like loader can not find my *cdrom*!
It should be /dev/sdc or /dev/sdd, because /dev/sda and /dev/sdb
are my hard-drives. When I enter shell and look into /dev, there
is actually no /dev/sdc, and no /dev/sdd. Only /dev/sda1(-sda12)
and /dev/sdb1(-sdb12).
But that is strange, because kernel just booted from CD,
so it *must* see it!
Unfortunately, it's the BIOS that does this. The kernel cannot boot by
itself by some magical means. The BIOS must boot it.
Can anyone help me please to fix this mess?
Is it really so that Gentoo 2008 can not boot from sata-cd-drive?
Your hard drives are SATA as well (on the same controller) and only the
CD drive can't be found? That's strange. I suggest opening a bug about it.
If your hard drives aren't SATA or aren't on the same controller as the
CD drive, try to load the kernel module for your controller. Google is
your friend here (to find out which kernel module to try for your chipset.)
