Should've asked before emerging gentoo-kernel-bin - I still have to delete /boot and /usr/src completely?Also, I have already mounted my esp to /efi.

You have said that you have deleted /usr completely ... so, NOW you should have in /usr/src only the softlink /usr/src/linux and the directory of your new gentoo-kernel-bin ... so this should be fine.

If you give us the content of /boot and /efi (ls -lR) we could tell you what you can delete there.

I ran lspci -nnk and saw "Kernel driver in use: amdgpu" for my gpu, but is it pulling the information from livecd install or my install that is on my ssd? (I'm still in livecd and chroot'ed)

How did you boot ? From your SSD ? Then, yes, your installed Gentoo dist-kernel has of course the amdgpu driver (lspci asks always the current running kernel which you have booted).

I don't quite understand ... do you still have a current problem? I thought you had now installed the gentoo-kernel-bin (and surely did a grub-mkconfig afterwards) and already booted into your system with this new kernel (from other thread). Is that not the case ? What is the current status ?

That is really no problem ... login as root and add a user now (you can add users at any time).

Oh, I see.
Already added one from a livecd though. And also had to install sudo. And then removed myself from wheel group when I ran etc-update(already fixed). Installing x11 right now.
