The electricity went off after stage 9 in the instillation handhbook THis is when installing necessary system tools. I rebooted, but I cannot run emerge commands. When I look at fstab, it says I am at the fstab on the installation cd. I try to mount things, but nothing seems to get me back to where I was going. ALsoi my harddrive wont boot without the cd in becasue I don't think I have set up the bootloader yet, I beleive that is stage 10. Help!

You should be able to boot with the CD.

When booting is ready, mount your harddrive partitions as explained in the handbook
x = your harddrive (a, b, c or d)
n = your partition number (1, 2, 3 , 4 etc.)

# mount /dev/hdxn /mnt/gentoo
# mount /dev/hdxn /mnt/gentoo/boot
# mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc

then chroot to that environment
# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash

Now, update the environment, en source the profile
# env-update
# source /etc/profile

You should be able to continue the installation now..
