It looks like you mounted /dev/sdc1 to a point not accessible within your chroot environment. The proper way to do it from the start would be as follows:
| Code: | $ mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/gentoo
$ mkdir /mnt/gentoo/var
$ mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/gentoo/var |
Do not do this now, if you have done most of your installation already. You'll now need to move all the files in the /var directory to your separate partition before mounting in that manner. One way to approach this would be to exit the chroot environment while leaving things mounted as you did earlier, and then doing the following:
| Code: | $ rsync -av /mnt/gentoo/var/ /var
$ rm -rf /mnt/gentoo/var/*
$ umount /var
$ mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/gentoo/var |
Be careful, of course, with the first 2 commands! After the last step, you should be able to chroot back in and have things the way you expected.
