If you're installing to a new disk, do a standard Gentoo install to that
disk, but do it from your working setup  instead of the live CD

It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean it
is.  If you don't, it's its.  Then too, it's hers.  It isn't her's.  It
isn't our's either.  It's ours, and likewise yours and theirs.
