Sounds like a locale.gen issue (You're using the wrong language)

Although slim works, you need to use the F1 key to select what window manager to use. The default is a minimal x display with an xterm and that could be part of your problem.

As someone posted earlier, if you are mixing a Gentoo and Sabyon Install, You will have issues. Nothing says you can't use the sabyon image to boot - then simply follow the Gentoo Install Guide as normal to get a working system and DO NOT MIX.
