So, when I restart, everything looks allright. Grub asks me to choose

Have I missed a step?
Are you trying to run emerge as a user? It can only be run as root
('command not found' often indicates that, assuming that the application
is installed, which in this case we know it is. The command cannot be
found in the user's $PATH-- because and so that the user cannot use it--
but in root's $PATH).
Nope, I tried to create a user, but the adduser command couldn't be
found either. Neither can the find and whereis commands.
Apologies if this is completely obvious, but you did say "newbie"... :-)
After you "select Gentoo Linux 2.6.12-r6" do you see a lengthy boot process or do you get
a command line instantly?
It occured to me that you could somehow be getting to the grub command line, which has
about a dozen commands... definitely no "emerge", "adduser", etc.
