I have been running Mandrake linux for a few years. I decided to try
Gentoo 1.4. I d/l'ed the two cd iso's and burned them to cd's. I boot,
enter "smp" at the boot prompt and hit enter. The next screen to come
up asks for a runlevel to enter. I have tried 1 thru 5. Each time, I
get the message that nothing remains at this run level.

Now what do I do?
