Notice the 'noauto' option you have in your fstab for every one of your 
partitions.. this tells the mounter to 'not automatically' mount the 
partition:)... 

I believe they (gentoo-devs) used it for /boot so you dont accidentally mess 
up your kernel while running, and if you want to install a new kernel, you 
should manually mount /boot.... you must have copied and pasted that line not 
knowing what the 'noauto' meant:)
