Mounted it on /mnt/gentoo and unpacked the stage3 tarball. Silly question: now what? Where do I mount the SD card prior to unpacking portage? Do I make separate partitions on the SD card for each dir I need /usr /var /tmp etc? The natural place would seem to be on /mnt/gentoo/usr, but what about the other dirs? I should know this; I've done it often enough, but only when the other drive held a different OS or was strictly for storage. It probably seems obvious to you, but I can't see it. mw
