Everything was going fine until I got to installing my bootloader. When I emerged grug, during the compiling the system just froze and had to be turned off. My question is where do I go from here? Do I need to start all over or can I resume from where I left off. I mounted the harddrive and it appears everythings on there. Except when I looked in /usr/src/ it appeared to be empty. Shouldn't my kernel be in there?
I'm running the AMD64 universal cd.
Thanks for your time

| You can just start where you left off. Make sure you re-mount all your partitions to /mnt/gentoo/, /mnt/gentoo/boot etc. then chroot again as the manual states. Get back exactly to where you were. Your kernel should be under /boot. not /usr/src - the Linux Kernel Sources are under /usr/src, and won't be there until you emerge kernel sources. |

Hi and welcome to the forums.
You should read the Gentoo GRUB error collection. As stated there, you should try using grub-install --no-floppy /dev/boot-partition.
Since your system locked, you need to restart with the live-cd, mount the partitions, chroot and continue from where you left off:
| Code: | # mount ... /mnt/gentoo
# mount ... /mnt/gentoo/boot
# mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
# mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
# cat /proc/mounts /mnt/gentoo/etc/mtab
# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
# env-update
# source /etc/profile
# ... |

Should I try to unemerge grub or since it locked up and didnt finish compiling I dont have to worry about it?
Also do I need to
| Code: | | export PS1="(chroot) $PS1" |
Cause I dont remember this being there when I installed with x86 but its in the man for AMD64
When I: ls /mnt/gentoo/boot nothing shows up. Is this ok?
Thanks for your help |

Glad everything worked out for you.
Just for clarification, the command you referenced changes your prompt so that it's clear you're in the chrooted environment (by adding (chroot) in front of the normal prompt). Nothing that will change the way your gentoo install works, it's just a friendly reminder of where you are in the install process. If you've now gotten it to work, go ahead and stick [solved] in the subject of your post. Enjoy your install.
