Description cathetr 2014-05-08 05:34:48 UTC

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml says
 
Code Listing 2.10: Mount the file systems
livecd ~ # mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo
livecd ~ # mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
livecd ~ # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
livecd ~ # cd /mnt/gentoo

It should instead be "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo"

nope, incorrect. the docs clearly state that of the partitions created, sda1 is for boot, and sda3 is for the main root. re-read code listings 2.8 and 2.9. you first have to mount the main / directory before you can create and mount any sub-directories such as /boot.
