your guide still has many basic errors, you only change some of grub partition ref, other grub examples still say (hd0,2)
you ref fbsplash-gentoo but when creating initrd you use fbsplash-conrad, even with these corrected fbslash is not working for me, but this may just be card issue.
Also in first part of guide you speak of setting domainname etc but after running second script they were over written?
Netmount and local kept failing on boot so could not get sshd to start on boot, local was also reported as broken by rc-status. Setting /etc/conf.d/net to fixed ip and gateway cured problem!
If you guide is full of errors then it does not bode well for other aspects of project! there is no ref to setting keymaps, you should at least point users to follow Gentoo install guide for bits you are missing.
You say you don't use boot partition, which is big deviation from gentoo method, if you are going to run a gentoo based project you should keep to basic gentoo way so as to avoid future errors.
I think you need to take a leaf out Bob's Jackass project which does heavy testing before release of docs or files. i know you claim that this is all you own work, but from where i am the concept of conrad comes from stage1/3 and Jackass... where else did you get the idea?
First, nothing is perfect - this guide is assuming you have basic knowledge of gentoo - It is not designed to contain every bit of exact detailed information
Second, I have fixed the hd0,2 and gentoo reference on the boot partition configuration (splashimage line) and the fbsplash-gentoo is fbsplash-conrad (both grub.conf) - I have forgot to add /etc/conf.d/net configuration - Added it with a reference to the Gentoo Handbook
Third, I have realized after it rebuilds all the packages with the new compiler, the old configuration files are overwritten with new ones, so I added re-editing /etc/conf.d files
Fourth, For the fbsplash, what video card do you have? Consult,
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash, for more information about fbsplash/gensplsah.
Fifth, The boot partition is not required, having the /boot folder on a root partition is sufficient, I reccomend a boot partition, but I can not have one, I'm limited to 3 partitions, 1-windows, 2-root, 3-swap | On standard IDE Drives, they are all limited to 3 partitions - So a boot partition is not an option, until I get 2 SATA drives on raid.
Sixth, Conrad is not a stage 1/3 Install, as clarified, it is practically an install method, with bash scripts, gcc 4.0.2, glibc.2.3.5..20050722, binutils 2.16.1 - It is completely different, it does not install from a chroot - it uses bash scripts, different toolkit, and different make.conf, package.use, etc.
What inspired me to create this is - A way to install gentoo with reiser4 and gcc 4 - making a very fast system, There is no installation guide for gentoo, with reiser4, gcc4,and bash scripts, like conrad.
Thankyou for the typo/unidentified content find - I will fix every issue I find, Thanks a great deal for taking the time to post the issues you have.

What architecture did you use to install? What step are you on of the guide?
