Thanks very much.
I'm in.
I did have to go back and rerun passwd.

the "password failed" events were pursuant to handbook section 8.c. ?
try:
login root
password whatever you were trying to enter and reenter when you saw
"password failed"
that failing try just hitting return key at password prompt
all failing boot cd, mount partitions at /mnt/gentoo /mnt/gentoo/boot
cd /mnt/gentoo
(section 6)
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
env-update
source /etc/profile
(section 8.c Code Listing 22: Setting the root password)
passwd
{enter a password when prompted, preferably about 8 characters
including letters, numbers, and punctuation so it does not complain
about being too easy}
{reenter password when prompted}
[if you get failed, type passwd again and retry]
If you want root to be able to log on through the serial console, add
tts/0 to /etc/securetty:

# echo "tts/0" >> /etc/securetty
