• Get the ethernet card working again
• ifconfig eth0 up
• dhcpcd
• ping -c 3 www.google.com
• Framebuffer
• vesafb-tng is default for the gentoo kernel sources

• redraw: safer scrolling default. Let's go with this one
• nomtrr: do not use memory type range registers
• mode:1280x1024-32@85 produces a resolution of 1280x1024, 32 bit color depth, and a refresh rate of 85 Hz
• video=vesafb:redraw,nomtrr,1280x1024-32@85
• Install GRUB
  
• emerge sync
  
• emerge grub
• Configure GRUB: create /boot/grub/grub.conf
  

# Which listing to boot as default. 0 is the first, 1 the second etc.
