livecd gentoo / # mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
livecd gentoo / # mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev

Chrooting into the base system

livecd gentoo / # chroot /mnt/gentoo/ /bin/bash
livecd / # export PS1="(chroot) $PS1"
(chroot) livecd / # env-update && source /etc/profile
--- 'profiles/arch.list' is empty or not available. Empty portage tree?
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
(chroot) livecd / # emerge --sync (Skip this step if your PS3 is not connected
to the internet.)
This will take some time. Go and make yourself a cup of coffee :)
livecd / # export PS1="(chroot) $PS1"

Final configuration steps

Setting timezone:
(chroot) livecd / ls /usr/share/zoneinfo
(Suppose you want to use GMT)
(chroot) livecd / cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT /etc/localtime
Configuring kboot:
(chroot) livecd / # e2label /dev/sda1 /
(chroot) livecd / # cd /etc
(chroot) livecd etc / # cp kboot.conf.example kboot.conf
(chroot) livecd etc / # nano -w kboot.conf
kboot.conf
# The following is an example kboot configuration file.
# to suit your needs before attempting to reboot your system or
# you may be unable to boot the new install.
# default: the default kernel label to boot should the user not make
