You only chroot after untarring the stage 3. When you do chroot then you emerge grub, the kernel and add sshd to the default runlevel. Remove the live CD, reboot. Job done. Obviously there's a lot more to do after this to get a *fully working* operating system, but you should by this stage now be able to boot from the hard-drive into your embryonic system, and from there you can add a user, a system logger, cron, perform updates &c.
