Yeah, actually it's been harder than that.  To sum it up, right now I'm 
sitting at work, looking at the livecd# prompt via an ssh connection.  
The livecd boot seems to have only picked up my IDE drive attached to my 
Promise 150 PATA connector.  I can see it via fdisk /dev/sda1.

I also have two SCSI drives connected to an Advansys controller but they 
are nowhere to be found.  I know I was required to load a driver when 
installing Fedora Core 3.  I suspect I have to do something similar here 
but have no clue where to begin.  Google hasn't turned up anything so I 
made a plea to the gentoo-users list.  I'm anxiously awaiting someone to 
take pity on me.  :)

Cheers,

Drew
