Ok i feel stupid now but it appears that the fuse blew in the power plug, apologies to gentoo i love you really 
ok what do i do now.
I had done first stage bootstrap compile and was doing stage2 sys compile before setting time zone. Do i have to do 1st bootstrap compile again (9hrs) or can i just start 2nd stage sys compile?
what steps would i have to do to make sure everything works?
cheers |

No you don't have bootstrap again.

If you got to setting the time zone, simply (all sections/steps quoted from installation instructions):
1) Reboot with the Gentoo linux CD.
2) Load your kernel/PCMCIA modules (Section 3 & 4)
3) Configure networking (Section 5)
4) Mount your partitions (Section 7). Note - in code listing 14, you'll get an error during mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot. Ignore the error and continue. You created the directory previously - hence the error.
5) Mount the CDROM (Section 8 )
6) You now need to mount /proc and chroot into your Gentoo environment. Do this like so:
| Code: |
mount -o bind /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
env-update
source /etc/profile
|
7) Ensure new scripts installed in /etc overwrite old ones (this is required until installation is complete).
| Code: |
export CONFIG_PROTECT=""
|
....voila!  You are now at Section 13. Final steps: timezone. If you already did the timezone, simply resume at Section 14 and build your kernel, etc. |

Yes, do what I said then just resume at Section 12. Progressing from stage 2 to stage 3. Good luck. |
