Hi Richard,

Yes I did.  Sorry for not listing them on my previous posting.  Steps
taken previously as follows;

# cd /mnt/gentoo
# mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
# mount -o bind /dev/mnt/gentoo/dev
# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
# env-update
-/bin/bash:env-update:command not found.

other commands also not found.


If I start again wiping out the complete HD, following the steps on the
handbook.  Then it worked seamlessly.

# env-update
>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache....

I can't resolve if after exiting chroot and re-enter chroot, commands
will disappear.  I tried many times in my previous rounds.

I'm sure on my previous rounds, [Ctrl+Alt+F4] switching back to the
working console.  Sometimes all work were there.  Another time they
were lost.

I'll try your advice "Alt+F1" next time.  Tks
