You do not need a KnoppMythCD most any liunx livecd will work. Something like:

mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev

chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash

So now you have to replace /dev/hda3 with whatever is your / and
/dev/hda1 with whatever is your boot. And then /mnt/gentoo with any
/mnt folder that was created from the livecd or just make one your
self.

Start with /var/log

Then you may want to remove binry logs at /var/lib/mysql/

I have deleted these directly or if you can get mysql running in your
chroot then you can do it the official way:
