Handbook assumed that the directory exists for Gentoo media (as it's focused in minimal ISO, that probably creates it properly), but the Live iso doesn't create it and I need to manually do it each time. Thanks
This seems to be a result of the livegui using "overlayfs" genkernel feature. Any of the work being done by bootstrapFS() in ${NEWROOT} dir [1] gets clobbered when overlayfs is set up and mounted [2] at ${NEWROOT}.

Ok that releng commit would not help since these dirs are created by genkernel initramfs at runtime. I've just committed something to genkernel that should help, I've tested it on 9999 and /mnt contents look better. We can look to get out a new release soon.
