I expected some issues but thought I would get a little further... On
booting from the CD I get the following error message:

"Invalid loop location: /livecd.squashfs  Please export LOOP with a
valid location, or reboot and pass a proper loop=  command line"

I couldn't find anything on the gentoo website and all I found on google
was an unanswered posting of the same problem and
http://www.google.co.nz/search?q=cache:hwOiIfqt-34J:dev.gentoo.org/~plasmaroo/patches/kernel/genkernel/linuxrc.jhuebel+%22pass+a+proper+loop%22&hl=en
which contains the following code

[ -n "$QUIET" ] && echo '6' > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
check_loop() {
if [ "${LOOP}" = '' -o ! -e "mnt/cdrom/${LOOP}" ]
then
echo "Invalid loop location: ${LOOP}"
echo 'Please export LOOP with a valid location, or reboot and pass a proper loop=...'
echo 'kernel command line!'
/bin/ash
fi
}


sadly, this hasn't enlightened me. It doesn't seem to be mentioned in the docs. If it makes any difference
I already have windows on the machine and am aiming for a dual boot system.
