	The SSD is up and running. I get Gentoo booting to a console and I'm
now in the process of getting stuff installed, LibreOffice, Firefox,
Thunderird etc, stuff that takes ages to build. So now that I'm
confident that things will work, I can continue to work, from the old
disk, chroot into the new and continue to install there.
