sounds like you missed section 4e, Mounting, of the handbook
"
mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo
mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
"

There's probably a clue in the my response to the other message, same

I suspect that things are not mounted the way I think they are.

The root is /mnt/gentoo on /dev/hda3
I then did:

tar -xvjf /mnt/cdrom/snapshots/portage-20050709.tar.bz2 -C

As I watched the blur flashing by on the monitor, about 2/3 of the way
through the lines began to rap. When the process stopped and I could
see
what was happening; after each tar command it was stating
"cannot write no space left on device."
This baffles me as 10 Gig should be plenty of space?
It is, but did you do "cd /mnt/gentoo" before extracting the files?
