Yikes! Now I get
Error 12: Invalid device requested

Done.
of May26, which, I was informed, is also wrong, but
obviously for a different reason.
But I just checked. I exited out of /bin/bash, did a
list /mnt/gentoo, found all as it should be.
And when I chroot / is there as if I had booted
normally. And so is /boot.
Makes no sense.
According to one respondent /etc/mtab might be worth a
look.
livecd / # less /etc/mtab
/dev/ROOT / xfs rw,noatime 0 0
/dev/hda2 /boot ext2 rw,noatime 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy msdos rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy msdos rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0
hmmm, that's strange; /dev/ROOT(hda4) is not xfs, it
should be reiserfs. And when it was mounted the
console noted that it *was* reiserfs. But /boot is
correct. Or is it that mtab just lists defaults? But I
notice that once I've chroot'ed I can mount drives
according to the options listed in the fstab I wrote
during the install.
It's all a darkness.
