I don't think there is an option to add a kernel parameter ro the install cd when booting up.

oh well, thanks anyways

Haven't tried Gentoo install for years, but all other CD's let you edit the kernel command line before booting. You sure Gentoo CD won't allow it?

Edit: Sure you can do it, see http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=2

There is nothing on sda1.

sda and sdc are two brand new hard drives with nothing on them. I want to setup RAID1 using those two drives and then install Gentoo. All I have done is used fdisk to partition them

I assume there is also sdb. What if your drives are recognized differently from CD. Did you run fdisk -l to verify?

There is a sdb, sdd, sde, sdf(cdrom)

They are all blank. I don't want to do anything with those right now. I want to get hda and hdc setup as RAID1 and then install Gentoo on them.
