Thanks to all who assisted. I used a combination of all and this is now solved! (except for the original problem)
1. Booted install disk 2. mkdir the /mnt/gentoo, /mnt/gentoo/usr, /mnt/gentoo/home 3. ifconfig stuff for network. 4. mounted above with existing partitions. 5. chrooted to new (old) Gentoo 6. emerge baselayout 7. reboot to new (old) system...
