Well, I tried, with about similar error:

!! Media not found

Please specify another value or: press Enter for the same,
type "shell" for a shell, or "q" to skip...
root block device() :: _

It looks to me like loader can not find my *cdrom*!
It should be /dev/sdc or /dev/sdd, because /dev/sda and /dev/sdb
are my hard-drives. When I enter shell and look into /dev, there
is actually no /dev/sdc, and no /dev/sdd. Only /dev/sda1(-sda12)
and /dev/sdb1(-sdb12).
But that is strange, because kernel just booted from CD,
so it *must* see it! Can anyone help me please to fix this mess?
Is it really so that Gentoo 2008 can not boot from sata-cd-drive?
