If you follow the handbook as it is, you should end to something like,
Neo ~ # fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda (SGI disk label): 64 heads, 32 sectors, 8682 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 bytes
----- partitions -----

1: /dev/sda1 boot 51 101 104448 83 Linux native

Follow exactly the instructions in
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-mips.xml?part=1&chap=4 ,
the section "Getting the SGI Volume Header to just the right size".
After that I think that you will be fine. Use the dd command to
delete the partition table, and start again.
