Perhaps you had something still mounted under /mnt/gentoo? If you had of typed 
"mount" at the prompt it would have shown you all your mounts. The only 
possibility is if you were in fact cd'd into /mnt/gentoo. There's no daemons, 
etc. running during install so the only possibilities are something your 
doing at the time or a mount. Perhaps your in the directory on another 
terminal?

When Linux mounts a CD-ROM it locks the door on the cdrom. The only way to 
open it is to umount it first. The eject command will umount and then eject 
the cdrom if it's not in use.

It means to eject and remove the CD between the time that the installation CD 
reboots and the time that your computer starts booting from your 
cdrom/fdd/hdd.
