I have just compleated a install folowing the hand book exactly. (not useing genkernel) and have booted up with out the cd and i get a error saying fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/BOOT
/dev/BOOT:
the superblock could not be read or dose not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 file system (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:

e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

* Fsck could not correct all errors, manual repaor needed

Give root password for maintenacnce
(or type Control -D for normal start up) what have i done and how do i fix this thanks

A greatfull noob 2 gentoo

you must follow the handbook thoroughly. you forgot to edit your /etc/fstab. so, just read what the handbook has to say about that. don't forget you'll have to boot with the live cd, mount the partition which contains /etc/fstab (usually your / partition) and edit it (and reboot, of course).

# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
