Hi, I just found a 6 gb 7200 rpm harddrive and i want to install gentoo on it, It seems to already have a windows file system on it, but I can just format over that in linux. Anyway, I boot up the liveCD and get no errors, but when it is done loading, I see this line

Code:
/newroot #


instead of the isolinux in red and blue text one. What is going on here, I can't fdisk, modrpobe links or anything, I need to know how to change my root back to the notmal directory.
