(mass-change) Please do not use the Bugzilla product for system issues. Per the large red text it is only for problems with the Gentoo bugs.gentoo.org site only.
Please explain which steps would need to be added.
As mentioned, users should also read the handbook, as the guide does not provide a verbose description of each step. In your case, you made the common mistake of either 1) not building your needed filesystem drivers directly into the kernel (not as modules), or 2) you didn't correctly setup /etc/fstab for your partition arrangement, or 3) you didn't correctly setup your kernel boot line in /boot/grub/grub.conf In any of these cases, the correct place to ask for support is in the Gentoo Forums, specifically the Installing Gentoo subforum (right at the top): http://forums.gentoo.org
