Ok, thanks.

[Installing Funtoo bootloader problem]

Hello,

I' trying to install funtoo from arch linux. I downloaded amd-pildriver stage tar file, I followed the Install guide, which doesn't seems to be accurate. I started to have different results when tried to emerge ibus. This seems that updated a lot of packages(131), and also installed genkernel. So, afterwards I installed linux-firmware and grub. And here is my problem. Grub installed without problem, but now when I run "ego boot update", it doesn't do nothing and no /boot/grub/grub.cfg genereted.

I have an MBR system and I already have grub installed, so I don't want to install grub again, just to generate the grub.cfg file. I don't have a /boot partition and I have set / in fstab using the UUID of partition.

The boot.conf file has these:

boot {
	generate grub
	default "Funtoo Linux" 
	timeout 3 
}

"Funtoo Linux" {
	kernel bzImage[-v]
}

"Funtoo Linux genkernel" {
	kernel kernel[-v]
	initrd initramfs[-v]

	# IMPORTANT: Most users will want to remove "nomodeset", below!
	#
	# It is included in the initial install to ensure that virtually all
	# systems boot up with a readable initial console.

	# But all graphics drivers (with the one exception of the proprietary
	# NVIDIA drivers) REQUIRE mode setting to be enabled, and thus the
	# nomodeset option must be REMOVED prior to setting up a graphical
	# environment or X will not start. Remember to run "ego boot update" after
	# removing the option, and then reboot prior to configuring X.

	# Also note that if you are using a 4K or higher resolution display, your
	# console text may become very small after enabling kernel mode setting
	# since it will display your console at the native resolution of your
	# display.

	params += real_root=auto rootfstype=auto
}

When I run "ego boot update" I get this:

  * Generating config for grub...

  * No /etc/fstab entry for /boot; not mounting.

and no grub.conf is generated.

[How to use systemd instead of openrc?]

Hello,

I recently installed funtoo after a lot of installation problems. I forced to do about 10 reboots to actually install the core system and X because a lot of packages failed to build at first time and after the failure the disk locked and I couldn't give any command. I' ve managed to continue though and I now writing from xfce enviroment. It is the first time I installed funtoo, I've installed gentoo before about 10 years, but I used for a very short period and I'm new to the way funtoo/gentoo works.

 

I mentioned that the boot time is very slow compared to arch linux which I'm using the last year.

It takes about 22secs to go to login prompt in funtoo and about 6-7secs in Arch linux. I've searched a bit in google and I found that openrc is slower.

Is this right? Is there any way to make it faster, and if not how can I use systemd instead?
