Subject: [gentoo-user] 20008 install problem: "Could not find the root block device in ."

Hi,
I just downloaded install-amd64-minimal-2008.0.iso, burned
it, and tried to boot&install. But during boot-up, a message
comes:
____________________________________
 >> Determining root device...
!! Could not find the root block device in .
    Please specify another value or: press Enter for the same,
    type "shell" for a shell, or "q" to skip...
root block device() :: _
____________________________________

What am I supposed to do???

It is a common pc, with Asus mobo (nForce4 chipset),
2x sata-disk, 1x sata-dvd, nvidia graphics. Everything
correctly detected in bios and during boot-up.

On the same computer, I could install gentoo-2007 last year,
but unfortunatelly disk has died, so I had to replace it and
install again...

Jarry
