Checking root filesystem ... fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/ROOT /dev/ROOT: The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and swap or ufs or something else), the the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device> Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. initial boot after new install 2. 3.
Could it be, you forgot to make the necessary changes to yout /etc/fstab? Looks to me like you have still the template version of that file installed. You should put something like "/dev/sda1" instead of "/dev/ROOT" there and if you have more partitions created during install, please put the correct device with the corresponding mount point there as well.

Watch out to edit the new system's fstab, and not the one which belongs to the system used for the install. Regards, Dw.
As previous comments have stated, please ensure that you have properly edited the correct /etc/fstab file for your install, as per http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=8#doc_chap1 If you continue to have problems, you can either seek support on http://forums.gentoo.org/, or by joining #gentoo on irc.freenode.net
