Because it's confusing.
Why shouldn't I top post?

You need to chroot to /mnt/gentoo before running etc-update: # mount -bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev # cd /mnt/gentoo ; chroot ./ ./bin/bash # etc-update
It did happen in my previous rounds. Other command such as "emerge" also found missing compelling me to wipe out the HD and to start again.
Also chroot needed here?
Problem about switching consoles. After "chroot" I can't read online manual. Therefore I have to press [Ctrl]+[Alt]+F2 switching to another console. (I suppose the working console is [Ctrl]+[Alt]+F4). But after switching back to the working console all the work disappeared. It did happen occassionally but not always. Any advice? TIA.
I think you've gotten confused by which console you are working on. Normally the live CD starts several consoles (6?), that are accessible on Alt+F1 through Alt+F6. (The Ctrl+Alt combination is only needed when switching from X to a console). So most likely, you were working on tty1 (Alt+F1). -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
