Installing Gentoo - chroot into the New Environment
We've already mounted our boot and root drives, but we'll need to mount the processes and devices there before we can chroot into the new Linux environment.
# mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc # mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
Optional: RAID If you elected to use RAID, you'll need to copy over your mdadm.conf file before you chroot. If you aren't using RAID, skip this step.
mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm.conf mkdir /mnt/gentoo/etc cp /etc/mdadm.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/mdadm.conf
The new environment is ready, so we can enter it.
# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash # env-update && source /etc/profile
Before we begin emerging programs we should Configure System Settings.
