Yeah, actually it's been harder than that. To sum it up, right now I'm sitting at work, looking at the livecd# prompt via an ssh connection. The livecd boot seems to have only picked up my IDE drive attached to my Promise 150 PATA connector. I can see it via fdisk /dev/sda1.By "tomorrow" you probably mean "over the course of the next week or so". Gentoo takes a long time to install, mainly because you have to do a lot of it by hand. The best way is to have a spare PC around that you can use for browsing the net and searching/posting gentoo forums for help as you go. Deciding what to partition where and getting the initial install is the hard part, once you pick what you want you can just follow the gentoo myth guides that are out there, for the most part (I believe - I'm not sure since I installed myth on top of an already-working gentoo system)

I would second that. I always get the SSH server up and running first so I can do other things and read the manuals in an easier fashion while getting things installed. I would probably do a stage3 install to get you up and running fairly quickly. Afterwards you can always recompile your entire system over the weekend or something.
I also have two SCSI drives connected to an Advansys controller but they are nowhere to be found. I know I was required to load a driver when installing Fedora Core 3. I suspect I have to do something similar here but have no clue where to begin. Google hasn't turned up anything so I made a plea to the gentoo-users list. I'm anxiously awaiting someone to take pity on me. :)
Cheers,
