Apologies for starting the top posting,

I had earlier suggested using http://www.tecmint.com/gentoo-linux-installation-guide/ and the Gentoo handbook side by side.
The link provided has the option of using the LiveDVD. I do not know at what stage the install failed but it might be easier to start over.
