Draft2: Flat approach
first, select target arch (sets var:arch [$arch]) (sets var:experimental [0/1]) (sets var:table [gpt/mbr])

second, depending on var:arch, select board (overwrites var:table [gpt/mbr]) (sets var:board [$board])

Introduction Welcome Installation options for Gentoo Scope of this document How the installation is structured Troubles

Preparing the environment(contains "Host architecture") Setting up a cross build environment(uses var:arch) Installing required tools(contains "Installing a build toolchain") Setting the date and time

Preparing the storage device Introduction to block devices(title only) Block devices Partition tables GPT MBR Introduction to LUKS Introduction to filesystems(title only) Filesystems Default partitioning scheme and filesystem layout Default Btrfs filesystem layout Default: Structuring a Btrfs filesystem with subvolumes Alternative: Designing a partition scheme Partitioning the storage device Using parted to partition the device(specific to var:table=gpt) Using fdisk to partition the device(specific to var:table=mbr) Optional: Using LUKS to encrypt the main partition Initializing file systems Default: Using Btrfs + Alternative: Not using Btrfs

Installing the Gentoo installation files Choosing a stage tarball(if var:experimental=1 display "Experimental tarballs") Downloading the stage tarball Unpacking the stage tarball Configuring compile options

Configuring the kernel Installing the sources Manual configuration Activating required options Architecture specific kernel configuration(specific to var:arch) Platform and board specific kernel configuration(specific to var:board) Optional: Activating required options for LUKS encryption Optional: Building an initramfs Compiling and installing the kernel

Configuring the system Filesystem information (About fstab, Filesystem labels and UUIDs, Partition labels and UUIDs) Creating the fstab file (includes the /boot/ example) Default fstab file Optional: fstab file for encrypted disks Optional: fstab file for filesystems other than Btrfs Setting the hostname Setting a temporary root password Init and boot configuration

Setting up the bootloader and the firmware(specific to var:board)

Booting the target device

Config the system pt2
