Could we see your grub/lilo menu.lst/lilo.conf file so that we can see what is going on?

It sounds to me like you have goten into linux with ntfs support and you lilo configured properly. You now need to add your ntfs partition info to fstab.conf in /etc gentoo. Then you will be able to mount the partitions. You also have to have a directory in /mnt for the partition to be mounted to.
