Hello list, I'm trying to install Gentoo on a new eee-pc but falling at the first hurdle. I've followed the instructions on making a boot USB stick in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/liveusb.xml but the machine doesn't recognise the stick at boot time. It's a 4GB stick so I made a FAT-32 partition occupying the whole space, using mkdosfs, then copied the contents of install-x86-minimal-20090915.iso following the instructions. I did all the things I was told to, but at the next boot the BIOS calls the stick merely a "removable device", not a USB disk, and then it doesn't boot from it.
Can anyone tell me if that web page is up to date and complete? I notice it doesn't say to make the _stick_ bootable, only the partition on it. TIA. -- Rgds Peter
