Looking at the prompt you have, are you chrooted into the gentoo install while doing this?

Secondly post

fdisk -l

[AlexK]

did you copy /proc/mounts to /etc/mtab?

[chemicalvamp]

i gotta say iam a noob with linux and i probably shouldnt be starting with gentoo from whati hear and iam going to anyways, i followed the handbook to the letter.. i think i may have miss configured something with nano, i am willing to try anything so tell me whatever i need to type in.. this is my second time trying to install first time i tryed lilo and this time grub, i dont think i copied the proc thing

[AlexK]

See This section of handbook, execute this command to copy over /proc/mounts:

grep -v rootfs /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab

Also, like dylunio asked, did you perform the chroot command at the appropriate time?

[chemicalvamp]

yes i chrooted when the handbook told me to, i have manually configured grub and booted to a command section.. now i cant getto the handbook on cd so iam looking for instructions to go from there
