I believe it has something to do with /proc
but I did do
but I did

mount -o bind /proc proc
mount -o bind /usr/portage/distfiles usr/portage/distfiles

as it said in the instructions.. any ideas?

when you did the mount command, where you in the directory where you have your installation going? confirm that with mount and ls proc in the correct directory. Also, what's your setup. Do you have something such as /root/livecd and your chrooted in? Might help to know. Why do you think it's got anything to do with /proc btw?

I believe there was stuff messed up in /dev because I didnt unpack the stage2 tarball and portage as root.
after I redid everything as root, it seems to be working now..
