In the Kernel section of the amd64-handbook:: "root #nano -w /etc/fstab FILE /etc/fstabConfiguring the /boot mountpoint /dev/sda2 /boot ext2 defaults 0 2 " Note Further in the Gentoo installation, /etc/fstab will be configured again. The /boot setting is needed right now as the genkernel application reads in this configuration. I build kernel by hand, similar to the handbook. I keep all of /usr/ on the same partition, so I should not need at interramfs, right? But I am follow the '4' partition example in the handbook, for this manual installation. So it has been a long time since I looked that the handbook logic, so I may just have missed the followup section on what the fstab should look like, mostly following the amd64-handbook. In fact all I did was to add a partition names 'local' for later mounting as /usr/local. But there is no section on completing the fstab. Now finishing up the manual installation I have this default /etc/fstab:: /dev/BOOT /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2 /dev/ROOT / ext3 noatime 0 1 /dev/SWAP none swap sw 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0 which seems vintage. So a bug probable needs to be file on the handbook, but a bit of discussion might be wise, first. So where is the handbookd portion that describes these default steps that leads to a simple (per the handbook exmaple) /etc/fstab? Or is this a bug? <> Also, I exclusively use amd video cards and we use to have a gentoo doc on it's setup. Now in the gentoo wiki, I find:: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ATI_FAQ https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Amdgpu I do not currently have any of the newest AMD (fury*) cards so scripting up that part of radeon card installation seems most straightforward by a generic make.conf entry for radeon and lesser defaults that work:: VIDEO_CARDS="radeon radeonsi vesa " and then the appropriate ebuilds and kernel config options. Any suggestions related to ebuild, flags, kernel option and installation steps would be appreciated. I could have easily missed an existing doc, or interpertation that lends a blanket system for radeon video card installations. James
