I followed the method outlined in the Gentoo installation docs, placing /boot on a small partition.

Is this because it was specified as a parameter? The following are listed by df: rootfs 9780176 8060012 1223356 87% / /dev/root 9780176 8060012 1223356 87% /
This is normal. It's just that df does not dereference symlinks; /dev/root is a symlink, in your case to /dev/sda4. That's how the root filesystem gets mounted these days.

If that's supposed to be a sig, could you please make that more apparent?
