Hey /wsr/. so here's my problem
I decided to fall for the gentoo meme, so i followed the documentation and all that jazz, and installed GRUB 2. i compiled my kernel via genkernel. so once i unmounted everything, and rebooted , i see a grub prompt (not grub rescue) being the newfag that i am, i have no idea what to do beyond this point. any advice?
feel free to ask for any tech information.
also general tech support thread

THIS WILL TAKE LIKE 3+ hours to compile if you are installing gnome or kde

How am i supposed to log into the system if i can't get past grub?

1. ls -l Figure out which one is the partition with gentoo on it
2. set root=(hdX,Y) Obviously replace X and Y with the numbers and shit for the partition with gentoo
3. linux /boot/[vmlinuz] root=/dev/sdXY Use tab completion here. I don't know what your kernel will be named. Example for setting the root: if in step 2 it was (hd0,2) then it should probably be root=/dev/sda2
4. initrd /boot/[initramfs] Again use tab completion, I don't know what the default initramfs is on gentoo
5. boot
