Thanks space weather is out of here, I think.
I got a flash drive I can copy make.conf to and maybe share it with the
list if I can't figure out what broke.
I chose the systemd stage3 file latest version since I've not had exposure
to openrc and the other type of system gentoo offers in the past. I know
a little bit about systemd.

I have a single ssd slot in this machine and may be able to attach the gentoo ssd to the computer by usb so I can recover contents of my make.conf file and find out what happened in there. It will be a long way back to chroot before I can try this again and that's not
happening today due to space weather. The computer will be off until tomorrow and disconnected.
You can pick up where you left off at pretty much any point in a Gentoo install. If you have to shutdown or unmount your install, just follow the mounting and chroot sections again. Once you have that done, pick up where you left off. In the past,
I've had to do that before and it does fine as long as you remember where you left off.
Hope that helps.

Even if you don't remember where you left off, just check if each step has already been done before you do it.
And unpacking the stage3 I think is the only one likely to actually hurt anything if you do it again. The others would just waste a little time is all.
