After reading
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:X86/Installation/Media#Minimal_installation_CD
which does not link to it until after its first mention I spent considerable
time on http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/gentoo/ trying to find one. The only iso
files I managed to find are DVD size. When I reach the location that I think
should list them,
http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/gentoo/releases/x86/autobuilds/current-iso (aka
www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo), I consistently get this instead:
http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/images/bucket.jpg
Sorry, we cannot find your kernels
I really wanted to install by booting from an installed Linux anyway, but
first command after extracting stage and chrooting, I got this:
failed to run command '/bin/bash': Exec format error
When I attempted to find the stage file to download in the first place, they
all seemed to be arch-agnostic, so this is the one I tried (newest pre-Grub2):
http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo/releases/sh/autobuilds/20120323/sh4-unknown-linux-gnu/stage3-sh4-20120307.tar.bz2
Kernel booted from is Debian Jessie's 3.16.0-4-amd64, on a Core2Duo E8400, so
I'm confused why the apparent arch error message. ???
