... Have you been following the gentoo handbook? (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=8) It's an excellent resource, even though it is long. Don't rush it, or you'll waste more time with errors such as this one. From the guide: ----------------------------------- Code Listing 2: An example /boot line for /etc/fstab /dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 ----------------------------------- you will see that you have to change /dev/BOOT to /dev/hda1, or whatever drive / partition you have boot on. And the same for the other fstab entries.
