  I've got a bootable install running... yay!  There's still some setup
to do, but I can handle it from my desktop.  One thing I might forward
to the maintainers as a documentation bug/suggestion...

  If you're doing a remote install via ssh, *BEFORE THE REBOOT* run
"ssh-keygen" on the install target, and then...

scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub root@<install_target>:/mnt/gentoo/root/.ssh/authorized_keys

  This allows a root connection from your machine to the target machine,
so that you're not locked out <G>.  In my case, I only had to walk a few
steps to the laptop, run ssh-keygen, edit /etc/ssh/sshd.config, restart
sshd, and login manually via ssh.  If you're doing a really remote
install, it could be embarressing.  After uploading my key, I've changed
sshd.config back and restarted sshd.

I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
