When I boot my gentoo I get the following error, eventhough it doesn't hang the system:
*mounting localfilesystem
mount: mount point does not exist
mount: mount point 2 does not exist
mount: mount point 1 does not exist
mount: mount point 0 does not exist

*some localfilesystems failed to mount

Everthing works well, but I can't write files, so i can't write my XF86Config file
and therefore not get KDE running. I think i'm probally not able to write anything at all.
Does anyone know how to fix this
Thx.

You need to make the mount points...
Code:
mkdir <mountpoint>

e.g.:

mkdir /mnt/windows (no skip that one)
mkdir /mnt/cdrom
mkdir /mnt/floppy


check if your /etc/fstab is pointing to the correct mount points with the corresponding filesystem and properties.

I had the same problem, but in my case even though i had all the mount points , it was a silly syntax error in my /etc/fstab file that caused that error. If you are unsure how to add files systems to your fstab let me know.
