Maybe your stage1 tarball got corrupted while downloading? Try downloading again.
No idea what would cause this. I have done bootstrap many times almost everytime it worked flawlessly

/portage/scripts/bootstrap.sh doesn't exist, but /usr/portage/scripts/bootstrap.sh does
And I'm almost certain that there's a good reason you're told to fun scripts/bootstrap.sh from /usr/portage instead of typing the full path and being somewhere else (though you can type the full path if you are in /usr/portage and it'll work ok), so trying to run it from / is just asking for things to break...

Well, the code you typed showed you trying to run something that certainly doesn't exist, but, assuming you've typed it in correctly at some point..
Did you run | Code: | | # tar -xvjpf stage?-*.tar.bz2 |
? If so, did you also download the md5sum for it and run | Code: | | # md5sum -c stage1-x86-2004.3.tar.bz2.md5 |
?
I would say that the solution to your problem is probably untarring the stage 1 tarball (again), making sure that you follow the hand book carefully and are putting it in the correct place
Without psychic powers that's the best guess I can give you on what might be wrong for now...

the tarball is ok and yes i extracted it
its the 3rd time i repeat all points in handbook and it gives me it
i think the error is in the point that the scripts cat is in /portage and not in /usr/portage but i dont know why is it so... |

I had that once when I extracted the portage tree. I used this command: | Code: | | tar -xvjf /mnt/gentoo/portage-20041202.tar.bz2 |
instead of
| Code: | tar -xvjf /mnt/gentoo/portage-20041202.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/gentoo/usr
|
you probably assumed that the command was the same as used to extract the stage tarball, but this is not the case!
delete /portage and extract it again with the correct command.
I first moved it to the correct place, but that gave some errors during bootstrap

Oops, I'm a fool, it's in the portage tarball not the stage tarball, glad someone's paying attention
Sorry!
