Welcome to the Gentoo Linux Minimal Installation CD! Warning: Permanently added ':2244' (ED25519) to the list of known hosts. Now from virtualbox let’s enable port forwarding so we can ssh from the host machine:Īnd then ssh from the host -p 2244 -l root localhost So let’s enable ssh and set the password from the livecd: Then powering on the vm and typing in gentoo-nofb booted from the livecd:Īfter the VM is booted I saw the following:įrom here we can enable ssh just to make the install easier. I then attached the downloaded ISO to the IDE Controller: I gave the VM 1GB of ram and 20GB of disk space (VirtualBox set the Disk controller to be SATA and that worked out okay).
