Are you sure that your partitions are mounted and that you unpack the tarball in the right directory?
Sounds like you are unpacking into RAM. |

KillForYou,
You probably omitted thestep, so you are attempting to unpack the tarball to your RAM, which often fails.

you would mount your drive first to /mnt/gentoo, then untar it there.
