Connection interrupted - how to resume installation ?

Hello,

I'm installing Gentoo for Amd 64. While emerge was running in the step "stage 2 to stage 3", the computer lost the connection to Internet, so the process stopped before downloading Gettext. What command do I have to run in order to restart the installation where it hung up ?

Thanks for your help.
