All the installation went fine. Use Grub.

can't find sda3 at boot time:

VFS: cannot open root device "root=/dev/sda3" boot option
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS : unable to mount root fs on 08:03

did you add the driver for the adaptec scsi controller to your kernel?

what does the following output print out on your screen?
if [ ! "$(grep -i "^CONFIG_SCSI=y\|^CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX=y\|^CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX_OLD=y" /usr/src/linux/.config|grep -ic "")" -ge 2 ] ; then echo "You need to enable SCSI and AIC7XXX support in your kernel";else echo "Kernel configuration is okay.";fi

cheers

Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
