Hi,
I just downloaded install-amd64-minimal-2008.0.iso, burned
it, and tried to boot&install. But during boot-up, a message
comes:

What am I supposed to do???

It is a common pc, with Asus mobo (nForce4 chipset),
2x sata-disk, 1x sata-dvd, nvidia graphics. Everything
correctly detected in bios and during boot-up.

On the same computer, I could install gentoo-2007 last year,
but unfortunatelly disk has died, so I had to replace it and
install again...

If the 2007 cd worked then use that one. It doesn't matter what cd you start from, only that you get started. For that matter (as people always say) you can boot off of knoppix or the lfs (linux from scratch) disk. The only thing the cd does for you is provide a working linux environment that you can chroot from to install gentoo.
