Hi there,
When I run chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash,
I get:

chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Exec format
error

Any ideas?
Thanks!!
Ian

Does the arch of the stage tarball you installed match the arch of the 
processor?

Have you untared your stage file already?
Have you mounted all the partitions?

Give us some more info so we can help you

I get that when I boot from a 32-bit boot disk and try to chroot into a 64-bit 
environment....or vice versa....

My guess this is normal, since you need either: amd64 install disk or ia64 
install disk: http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/where.xml

yes, it is...but I was saying that is the message I get when, say I boot my 
x86_64-built box with the rescue cd for partimage purposes and try to chroot 
in there.  He seems to have done something similar.
