Arrancar el CD de instalación
Una vez se ha creado el CD de instalación, es el momento de arrancar desde él. Retire todos los CDs de las unidades de CD, reinicie el sistema y entre en la configuración del BIOS o UEFI. Esto se hace generalmente pulsando la tecla, o , esto depende en gran medida del sistema y de la placa base utilizada. Una vez dentro del menú de configuración del BIOS o UEFI, cambie el orden de arranque para que se intente arrancar desde eel CD-ROM antes que desde el disco duro. Si no se realiza este este cambio, el sistema arrancará desde el disco duro, ignorando la unidad de CD-ROM.

Now place the installation CD in the CD-ROM drive and reboot. A boot prompt should be shown. At this screen, will begin the boot process with the default boot options. To boot the installation CD with custom boot options, specify a kernel followed by boot options and then hit.

At the boot prompt, users get the option of displaying the available kernels and boot options. If no choice is made within 15 seconds (either displaying information or using a kernel) then the installation CD will fall back to booting from disk. This allows installations to reboot and try out their installed environment without the need to remove the CD from the tray (something well appreciated for remote installations).

We mentioned specifying a kernel. On the installation CD, several kernels are provided. The default one is called gentoo. Other kernels are for specific hardware needs and the -nofb variants disable framebuffer support.

The next table gives a short overview of the available kernels.

Junto con el núcleo, las opciones de arranque ayudan para ajustar el proceso de arranque aún más.

Now boot the CD, select a kernel (if the default  kernel does not suffice) and boot options. As an example, we boot the  kernel, with   as a kernel parameter:

Next the user will be greeted with a boot screen and progress bar. If the installation is done on a system with a non-US keyboard, make sure to immediately press to switch to verbose mode and follow the prompt. If no selection is made in 10 seconds the default (US keyboard) will be accepted and the boot process will continue. Once the boot process completes, the user is automatically logged in to the "Live" Gentoo Linux environment as the root user, the super user. A root prompt is displayed on the current console, and one can switch to other consoles by pressing, and. Get back to the one started on by pressing.
