Unless it has changed, it is "gentoo nox" at the prompt.  Whatever 
option you want to use, you have to put the gentoo first.  At least it 
was that way the last I used it anyway.  If you just put nox, it will 
ignore it for some reason or other.

Hope that helps.

Oh, I use Knoppix most of the time.  I can surf the web while something 
compiles.  ;-)
