It sets up the raid1 on /boot/root/swap (identical drives) really easy.
Since GPTfdisk does not exist on any gentoo installation media, it 
sounds like the easiest (most direct path) to set up a RAID-1 gentoo

Any other links?

What did your partition setup look like?

Can you post or send me privately a copy of the fstab used for
the UUID devices, cdrom etc etc?
