I will try to make me a new clean Gentoo install this harddisk later and then
now make a little 2M partion to just let the kernel work and run it and sda2 as
boot partion and then let sda3 be swap and sda4 = root, so this harddisk not
using so many partions else will a sda5 give trouble as Gentoo and all linux
not will work default with more than sda4 and then is it need to make sda4 to
extended and make sda5 to root if more than sda4.
Then is fstab have /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 /dev/sda5 /dev/sda6 in mounts.

make netcards to be in some orden and mac setting is by /udev/rules/ 70-per*
file with sybsystem and mac and eth* and eth0 to 2 for 3 lines and cards. then
in /etc/conf.d/net use mac_eth0="(mac-addr)" for each netcard.
Gentoo handbook have info on how to make a firewall and iptables be set in the
menuconfig for kernel so after have made the kernel to work first and the
network working and runs with internet connect. then should it for iptables and
firewall opdate the kernel menu file of config with setting networking of
iptables and put in and add the networking setting with all for iptables and
make sure all is done and then save the config file and compile the kernel with
the new settings for iptables.

  Take care,
