stage 3 is the suggested way of doing it nowadays anyway. If you're a sp33d d3m0n you can always run the bootstrap and emerge -e system, emerge -e world after you've installed everything. It will take a long while, but since it's still up and running while it does this, that's generally okay.

Thanks for the effort, but I have tried all this. So now, rather than
start from scratch I am going to install from a stage3 and move on from
there. This should work and as I am pushed now to get an openXchange
configuration setup, this will do for now. Once I have it stable it
should be possible to go back and re-install from source, I guess.
