Top posting since he started it. ;-) Actually, he is correct. If you follow the installation guide, you will end up with a installed OS and it will tell you when it is time to reboot into the system you just installed. It also tells you how to add a user to the system. One thing Gentoo is well known for and has been for ages, excellent install docs.
Admittedly, it's been a while since I did a install so I went and looked at the docs to be sure. Yep, everything is there and exactly where it should be. I do wish it had the one page layout like it used to tho. So, you need to read and follow the docs. If you do that, you will end up with a install just like everyone else who follows them. Example. How to use a DVD to install from: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Media I suspect a lot of us use sysrescuecd since it is Gentoo based. http://www.system-rescue-cd.org/SystemRescueCd_Homepage Mine is on a USB stick.
