Hi;
i am booting gentoo on my Napa machine but it freezes on "copying read-write contents to tmpfs". 
any help?  i am using gentoo i686 livecd.
 
with minimal-x86 i am booting fine, but it keeps failing in installer and sometimes decides to shutdown for some reason.
 
Thanks

sounds like a lack of ram, or you've opted to make the CD removable,
which mounts all 700meg of CD into ram to do so irrc, so if your short
on ram and have chosen options which match that description that could
be the culprit.
