Mounting the necessary Filesystems
# mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/gentoo # mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot # mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/gentoo/boot
How to mount /proc and /dev
# mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
# mount --rbind /sys /mnt/gentoo/sys <-- Consider the use of --bind insted of --rbind, for an easier unmount
# mount --rbind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev <-- "
Entering the new Environment
# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
# source /etc/profile
# export PS1="(chroot) $PS1"
# exit cdimage ~# cd / cdimage /# umount -l /mnt/gentoo/dev{/pts,/shm,} cdimage /# umount /mnt/gentoo{/boot,/sys,/proc,} <--if this fails try -l cdimage /# reboot <--if needed!
The file /boot/grub/grub.conf

# This is a sample grub.conf for use with Genkernel, per the Gentoo handbook
# http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=10#doc_chap2
# If you are not using Genkernel and you need help creating this file, you
# should consult the handbook. Alternatively, consult the grub.conf.sample that
# is included with the Grub documentation.
