I always refer to the install handbook - I can't emphasize this too much.
I also read the amd64 install notes.
Because I have an extensive Unix/Linux background, I look at the alternate
installation documentation. I often use Knoppix to build up a new
computer based upon this information.
If I have a problem, I review the install handbook again.
Good luck,

tar -xvjf /mnt/cdrom/snapshots/portage-20050709.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/gentoo/usr
As I watched the blur flashing by on the monitor, about 2/3 of the way
through the lines began to rap. When the process stopped and I could see
what was happening; after each tar command it was stating
"cannot write no space left on device."
This baffles me as 10 Gig should be plenty of space?
It is, but did you do "cd /mnt/gentoo" before extracting the files?
