I'd guess in the online manual page for the ebuild syntax.
man 5 ebuild
Or, on the Web, possibly in the devmanual or the Package Manager
Specification? (Which are also available for install.)
(Maybe there are better sources to use as a reference, which I've
forgotten about.)

Maybe a separate on-disk filesystem with very lazy writeback is a more
appropriate solution for this?

That specifically shouldn't be the problem, given that the output shows
the bootloader loading that ramdisk as well as output from what ought to
be the in-ramdisk system itself (notably "Dropping to debug shell."

Maybe check if this opens in Firefox the way you want. If it doesn't, it
might be just a matter of changing the default.
xdg-open "https://www.gentoo.org/";
I think the current handler can be checked with

While it's possible to set it with xdg-settings, Firefox should also
have a way to offer to set itself as the default.

I'd say this is very unlikely, and that you should test and investigate

No, that's shell job control, it will live only while the shell process
lives, so wouldn't survive a shutdown/reboot.
There were one or two FEATUREs that could be used to restart where it
stopped, was it FEATURE="keepwork"? (I guess it's a bit like invoking
the build system or ebuild directly on the partial build as mentioned
upthread, but with the comfort of doing it through emerge.)

Could --ignore-world be of use in cases where blockers are complicating

before other upgrades but python eclass changes are blocking things
creating cyclic dependencies.

The load limit is being set only for emerge, not make, so it would only
affect the decision to start building more packages in parallel. The
already started ongoing builds could still take the load beyond 30, with
more than 30 processes - there is nothing set to prevent that, or is
there?

Does the gentoo webforum actually support *threads*, and not just

With /log/ instead of /tree/ in the URL it at least shows the list of

Could this be the manually defined list of firmware blobs to include in
