power outage/re-chrooting in with universal CD

I had JUST finished compiling my kernal and bam, lights go out.
I am installing gentoo off the universal CD. I rebooted and tried to chroot back in:

chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash

which doesnt work-says /bin/bash does not exist.

I'm not the best linux dude, what did i miss/forget to do?

thanks in advance..

Forgot to mount the gentoo partition before chrooting?

Is it necessary to do env-update and source /etc/profile after you chroot in? What exactly does each command do?

From the gentoo handbook:

That's one thing I really like about this distro of Linux.. I don't have to set it all up at once.. set up what you feel like setting up and then reboot later from the liveCD and remount everything and bang you are there again

I'm a n00b as well.. but one thing I have learned in my short time with it is that anytime you have to reboot from the liveCD don't forget to :

OOOPs.. almost forgot do a chroot /mnt/gentoo in there too before the env-update.

Sorry
