 |
|
I've spent like 12 hours straight (OK, I know it's no big deal) on installing stage 1 Gentoo 2004.0. It was late, my wife wanted to use Windows, so I've shut down the installation.
Well, back to work today, I was going to re-run the failed command where I was stuck yesterday, see the error message and ask for enlightement here. I've mounted root and boot partitions, and then 
| Code: | | -bash: emerge: command not found |
Why, why, WWWHHHYYYYYY????
How can I recover from shutting down the computer?  I guess I already figured out what was wrong with
,
but the thing is I can't even start the thing anymore...

... and then you need to chroot. |

| Code: | | chroot: /bin/bash: No such file or directory |
This is actually weird, because
| Code: | # ls /bin/bash
/bin/bash |
bash is a file (???), and not a directory, so I don't know how to chroot after that.

OK, got it from https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=151527&highlight=chroot. I had to specify the file system when mounting
| Code: | | mount -t reiserfs /dev/hda6 /mnt/gentoo |
, all from /mnt/gentoo. Strangely enough, I could not run chroot, env-update or source except from the same window I mounted reiserfs... Anyway, thanx for setting me in the right track. Now to the next problem...

OK, this is for n00bs like me:
How to get back on track again:
Everywere they say "remount, chroot", fine, but how???
Here's more or less how:
| Code: | #mount /dev/hdXX /mnt/gentoo [XX is your / hd]
#mount /dev/hdYY /mnt/gentoo/boot [YY is your /boot hd]
#mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
#chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
#env-update
#source /ect/profile |
Actually I got an error message after the #source command last time, but except for that, I got what I wanted, that is, finding my installation files in my HDs after shutting down the computer. I've finished the handbook, and now I'm trying to figure out why the normal boot isn't working as should. Wish me luck!
