If it makes any difference, the target machine is running on 80MB of
ram with an AMD-K6 450. 4GB hard drive too (256MB swap). I'm thinking
Gentoo maybe doesn't like the K6-450, I couldn't get Mandrake 9.2rc1
installed either. Though it's running Slackware 9 now like a champ! My
Gentoo iso's were all `md5sum`ed before being burnt and used for
install...

This problem will probably maybe work itself out by the time I run
another network cable to this side of the house, but running that
cable I thought would have taken longer than getting a stage 3 GRP
install up and running. oh well.....
