Hi, Post your fstab file, your grub.conf file and maybe your disk layout from cfdisk or some other app that will show how you have the drive partitions set up. My experience with Gentoo is that this part of the instructions is a bit confusion, but technically correct. These usually come down to simple issues I've created for myself.
