Yes, the SuSE DVD had "rescue" as one of the boot options, but fsck couldn't fix it (at least not with me in the driver's seat). I was flying blind as "man fsck" was not available (no man pages in rescue mode? - not impressed!)
Anyway, if you want, I'd be happy to help you get another Gentoo system going. After a period of being less than 100% stable while sorting out problems, thankfully, Gentoo seems to be back to its 'just works' old self once more.
If it "just works" I might get by with minimal hand holding - maybe the odd question via email :-) At least SuSE's a good tool for downloading Gentoo stage 3 ISO :-) Yuri
