Yeah, actually it's been harder than that. To sum it up, right now I'm
sitting at work, looking at the livecd# prompt via an ssh connection.
The livecd boot seems to have only picked up my IDE drive attached to my
Promise 150 PATA connector. I can see it via fdisk /dev/sda1.
I also have two SCSI drives connected to an Advansys controller but they
are nowhere to be found. I know I was required to load a driver when
installing Fedora Core 3. I suspect I have to do something similar here
but have no clue where to begin. Google hasn't turned up anything so I
made a plea to the gentoo-users list. I'm anxiously awaiting someone to
take pity on me. :)
Cheers,
Drew
