I failed pretty much at the first hurdle with this guide.
I'm guessing that stage3 has to be unpacked into the target directory (/mnt/gentoo), but the guide doesn't specify.
Where does mirrorselect come from? This looks like a Gentoo package but I can't find it for Debian thus can't install it in the rescue environment.
I didn't get any further than that, but some other thoughts:
- What's the point of splitting xvda into /boot and / if they are both going to be the same filesystem type (ext4 in this case)? Normally the only point in having a separate /boot on a VPS is if you want to use something more exotic like btrfs or LVM for your root.
- is --f-omit-frame-pointers a safe CFLAG?
