Does this filesystem contain a grub directory with stage2, menu.lst
(or grub.conf), etc? What does grub/{menu.lst,grub.conf} contain?

Um...you mean ">/etc/mtab", right? Otherwise your fstab is going to
contain things that are not really necessary, like usbfs and sysfs
filesystems....
Anyway, this step is really not even necessary even with mtab, as
Gentoo will fix it when you boot.

Did you install grub? If so, did you use grub-install or my previous
instructions? What output did you get from that? I guess try
re-installing grub.
