Warning
Do not try to follow instructions directly from the Handbook:Parts namespace (WHICH THIS PAGE!), or any of its sub-pages. The Handbook:Parts is a meta handbook used for transcluding text into other Handbooks. Use the architecture-specific Handbooks found in the Handbook list for complete installation instructions.

Rebooting the system

Exit the chrooted environment and unmount all mounted partitions. Then type in that one magical command that initiates the final, true test: reboot.

root #exit

cdimage ~#cd

cdimage ~#umount -l /mnt/gentoo/dev{/shm,/pts,}

cdimage ~#umount -R /mnt/gentoo

cdimage ~#reboot

Do not forget to remove the bootable CD, otherwise the CD might be booted again instead of the new Gentoo system.

Once rebooted in the freshly installed Gentoo environment, finish up with Finalizing the Gentoo installation.
