from your email it sounds like you do not have devfs compiled into the kernel.  
The installation instructions say:


File systems --->
       ...
  [*] /proc file system support
(Required for Gentoo Linux.)
  [*] /dev file system support (EXPERIMENTAL)
  [*]   Automatically mount at boot          
(Required for Gentoo Linux.)
  [ ] /dev/pts file system for Unix98 PTYs
(Uncheck this, it is NOT needed.)
       ...
  <*> Second extended fs support
(Only needed if you are using ext2.)
       ...
  <*> XFS filesystem support
(Only needed if you are using XFS.)


Is this as yours looks?
