Make bootable USB

Make partitions

   # fdisk -l /dev/sdb  
   
   Disk /dev/sdb: 8422 MB, 8422162432 bytes
   239 heads, 47 sectors/track, 1464 cylinders, total 16449536 sectors
   Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
   Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
   I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
   Disk identifier: 0x0008aec7
   
      Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
   /dev/sdb1   *        2048    16449535     8223744    b  W95 FAT32

Install MBR

   # dd if=/usr/share/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sdb
   0+1 records in
   0+1 records out
   440 bytes (440 B) copied, 0.0190098 s, 23.1 kB/s

Make fat32 filesystem

   # mkdosfs -F32 /dev/sdb1 
   mkdosfs 3.0.9 (31 Jan 2010)

Download Gentoo LiveCD iso

Go to http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/where.xml ; pick mirror you like and download install-amd64-minimal-[0-9]*.iso, for example - this one:

   wget http://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/amd64/autobuilds/current-iso/install-amd64-minimal-20120621.iso

Mount gentoo LiveCD

   # mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom/
   # mount -o loop install-amd64-minimal-20120621.iso /mnt/cdrom/
   mount: warning: /mnt/cdrom/ seems to be mounted read-only.

Mount usb stick

   # mkdir -p /mnt/usb/
   # mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb/

Copy contents of LiveCD to usb stick

   # cp -aR /mnt/cdrom/* /mnt/usb/
   # mv /mnt/usb/isolinux/* /mnt/usb
   # mv /mnt/usb/isolinux.cfg /mnt/usb/syslinux.cfg
   # rm -rf /mnt/usb/isolinux*
   # mv /mnt/usb/memtest86 /mnt/usb/memtest
   # sed -i \
        -e "s:cdroot:cdroot slowusb:" \
        -e "s:kernel memtest86:kernel memtest:" \
        /mnt/usb/syslinux.cfg

Unmount medias

   # umount /mnt/cdrom/
   # umount /mnt/usb/

Install syslinux

   note guide # syslinux /dev/sdb1

Boot from USB-stick

If in trouble, try following gentoo handbook

Install Funtoo

Once booted, do this:

Partition hard drive

   # gdisk -l /dev/sda  
   GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.4
   
   Partition table scan:
     MBR: protective
     BSD: not present
     APM: not present
     GPT: present
   
   Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.
   Disk /dev/sda: 1953525168 sectors, 931.5 GiB
   Logical sector size: 512 bytes
   Disk identifier (GUID): DDF92951-E1C2-4138-B01C-71051D08D1FB
   Partition table holds up to 128 entries
   First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 1953525134
   Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries
   Total free space is 2014 sectors (1007.0 KiB)
   
   Number  Start (sector)    End (sector)  Size       Code  Name
      1            2048           67583   32.0 MiB    EF02  BIOS boot partition
      2           67584         1091583   500.0 MiB   8300  Linux filesystem
      3         1091584        17868799   8.0 GiB     8200  Linux swap
      4        17868800      1953525134   923.0 GiB   8E00  Linux LVM

Setup LVM

   # pvcreate /dev/sda4 
     Writing physical volume data to disk "/dev/sda4"
     Physical volume "/dev/sda4" successfully created
   # vgcreate data /dev/sda4 
     Volume group "data" successfully created
   # lvcreate -L40G -n root data
     Logical volume "root" created
   # lvcreate -L40G -n winxp data
     Logical volume "winxp" created

Setup Filesystems

   # mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda2
   # mkswap /dev/sda3 
   # mkfs.ext4 /dev/data/root

Mount filesystems

   # mkdir /mnt/funtoo
   # mount /dev/data/root /mnt/funtoo/
   # mkdir /mnt/funtoo/boot
   # mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/funtoo/boot/
   # cd /mnt/funtoo/

Setup networking inside of LiveUSB OS

   # /etc/init.d/dhcpcd start

Download Funtoo stage3 distribution

   # wget http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/funtoo/funtoo-current/x86-64bit/corei7/stage3-current.tar.xz

Unpack Funtoo distribution

   # tar xJpf stage3-current.tar.xz

Chrooting

   # mount --bind /dev/ /mnt/funtoo/dev/
   # mount --bind /proc/ /mnt/funtoo/proc 
   # cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/funtoo/etc/
   # chroot /mnt/funtoo/

Syncing

   # emerge --sync

Install kernel 3.4.4

   # emerge -av =sys-kernels/gentoo-sources-3.4.4

install xen 4.2-unsable
install winxp
