1) were u using more then one console,that is other then that fancy screen by using Alt-f2,Alt-f3 and Alt-f4, if not fine, if yes then make sure u are not currenty working in that mounted folder, just typing "exit" in all console once should do the trick.
2) cd to root , type
# cd /
3) do these steps in sequence ,one by one :
# umount /mnt/gentoo/boot
# umount /mnt/gentoo/proc
# umount /mnt/gentoo
it should be able to do the trick,
one more thing..once u do the exit as stated in step one u should be able to use the cd-rom,but u won't be able to eject it.
tell me if it doesn't work :-)

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.
