chroot problem @installation

i'm installing (at least want to...)gentoo on a hdd (hdb) which is already partitioned
i choosed stage3 grp installation, i followed the installation doc and came until 8.6
then "# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash" says no such file or directory...

swapon done (fdisk says filesystem is set to swap 82)

i mounted my .../dev/hdb1 /mnt/gentoo/usr etc. up to .../dev/hdb9 /mnt/gentoo/tmp.

this were the only differences from the doc, because it was done before

but what can it be with the chroot? there were no errors before.

THANX!

Are you sure you mounted the partition for / (/mnt/gentoo on the LiveCD) and unpacked the stage3 tarball?

mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/gentoo
mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
mkdir /mnt/gentoo/home
mkdir /mnt/gentoo/var
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
mount /dev/hda5 /mnt/gentoo/home
mount /dev/hda6 /mnt/gentoo/var
cd /mnt/gentoo
tar -xvjpf stage3-athlonxp-280803.tar.bz2
mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash

That was what I did.
