Hi
I am new to Gentoo. My previous experience is with slackware . I
Downloaded the Live CD and installed Gentoo twice .. but the problem is
Grub is not installed. I have a dual boot with Widowz and Grub for dos
... So I tried it using the grub console
>root (hd0,4)
>kernel (hd0,4)/ --> and when I tab here I cant list the content.
So I used the live CD and chrooted to the installed environment . there
I realized that I don't have any files for my hdd in the /dev/ folder
... Is this the issue... Please advise me . Cuz I went trough the
installation twice ..,
Tks regards ...
Gayan

no. This is normal. /dev is populated by udev. If you chroot from a livecd,
you need to bind mount dev to your chroots dev first.
And there is no reason to redo the installation. Grub is sometimes REALLY
annoying to setup. But usually it works as long as you are staying close to
the tutorial in info grub.

before you chroot:
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
for example
google for mount and bind
And please, learn quoting.
