At first I ran:
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash

When I got the error message I tried without the first slash since it couldn't 
do any damage to test it. Same error. By mistake it was the last command that 
went in the mail.

I guess I have to burn yet another cd then. :( Well, as longs as it works. Did 
suspect that was the problem. Wanted to be sure though.
