[wplug] Gentoo Stage 3 install

[Henry Umansky]

This past weekend I was installing Gentoo stage 3 (I eventually want to
do stage 1, but I started with stage 3 to get familiar with Gentoo) and
I followed the instructions in /install.txt line for line.  However,
when I got to the reboot part, the kernel started ok but when it got to
the Init part, I got a Kernel panic; no init found.  Nowhere in the
instructions did it mention creating an init file.  So I figured I would
just type "mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20 2.4.20" and update
/etc/lilo.conf, but mkinitrd didn't exist.  So before I typed "emerge
mkinitrd" I wanted to get some feedback from wplug to see if I missed
something.  Also has anyone attempted to install Gentoo on a Dell
Inspiron 8500?
