This should probably be on  gentoo-user (or gentoo-newbie)  rather than 
gentoo-dev, but here's the quick answer:

# mount /boot

That'll work if you added your boot partition to /etc/fstab (as the 
instructions clearly point out).  If you didn't (shame, shame, shame), 
then add a line something like this to /etc/fstab:

/dev/BOOTDEVICE      /boot    BOOTFSTYPE (ext3, ext2, xfs)     
noauto,noatime    1 1

then

# mount /boot

and you're set.

mount /boot
(provided you listed your boot partition in /etc/fstab as described in install 
instructions).
BTW, this question is probably better suited for gentoo-newbies mailing list.

First of all Daniel, let me give a friendly advice: post this kind of
messages to the newbies list.  It is not appropriate for the developer's
list nor the user's list.

That said, you have to mount the boot partition since Gentoo does not do
it automatically.  If you are not sure how to do that, mail me privately
and I will supply you with a list some good, entry level Linux books.
