There was bug fix release for amd64. See gentoo.org the first news
for more info. Perhaps this is for you.
I checked it, but I do not think that bug has something to do with
my problem. That bug (#230998) is a problem of live-cd, and I'm using
minimal install cd.
Besides, there is no updated install-cd, only live-cd. But I'll try
to download 2008.0-r1 live-cd, and install with it.
Hey, you are right. YOu can use the livecd like a minimal CD by adding
noX to the boot cmdline.
Well, I tried, with about similar error:

It looks to me like loader can not find my *cdrom*!
It should be /dev/sdc or /dev/sdd, because /dev/sda and /dev/sdb
are my hard-drives. When I enter shell and look into /dev, there
is actually no /dev/sdc, and no /dev/sdd. Only /dev/sda1(-sda12)
and /dev/sdb1(-sdb12).
But that is strange, because kernel just booted from CD,
so it *must* see it! Can anyone help me please to fix this mess?
Is it really so that Gentoo 2008 can not boot from sata-cd-drive?
