What may be the problem is that gentoo's automatic fstab creator seems
to create the swap line as:
/dev/SWAP none swap sw 0 0
but that doesn't mean that the /dev/SWAP necessarily exists in devfs. If
/dev/SWAP doesn't exist, then this line won't work. So either change the
line in /etc/fstab to refer to the real /dev/ device, or add a symbolic
link for SWAP to point to the device.
