A few newbee Gentoo installation questions that I could not find the
answers to, if you have a moment.
Can I set up a Windows / Gentoo dual boot system? How is that done?
I have Windows XP installed, created my partitions for Linux (SWAP
and /) and tried the Gentoo install (as I have done sucessfully with
SuSE). I mounted /dev/sda1 (my windows partition) to /mnt/gentoo/boot
and it seemed to work fine with the installation until I got to "Code
Listing 15: Running genkernel" (# genkernel all). At the end it said it
could not copy to /boot. I rebooted and the boot loader was all messed
up. I reinstalled SuSE to fix it so I could access Windows.
I see that GRUB setup is not until later. I also have RAID 1 with SATA
drives. I didn't see anything in the Gentoo manual about setting up
RAID drives.
THANKS!
