i know its silly.

i installed gentoo on vmware (for those not familair, its a virtual machine,
and im using very minimal hardware so i would get no support issues).

i did the entire installation guide with seemingly no problems. i synch'd my
ports ect, everything up until the point when i feel a reboot is nessisary.
so i "shutdown now", then i get:

init: /dev/initctl: No such file or directory

what would cause this? i assume something is very wrong. thanks in advance
