I looks as though you had /boot on a separate partition from / (in you
new install).
So instead of
mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo
you need
mount /dev/hdax /mnt/gentoo
where x is 1 or 2 or whichever partition you used for /.
umm, did I miss a memo?
he was trying to fix fstab, which is in /etc, not /boot.

Well, I thought so too. So I booted to the Universal CD. Then I did
mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo
Then I did cd /mnt/gentoo and did a ls
all I see is boot and lost+found
Did I make a bigger mess than I thought?

Thanks!
You only need to mount your root partition to /mnt/gentoo and then
execute nano /mnt/gentoo/etc/fstab -w. You can change nano to
another
editor if you like.
