It is in essence how you install Gentoo! But I forgot one important
part on chrooting. You also have to remount proc, dev and sys into the
new system. This is the script I use for chrooting:

#!/bin/bash
declare mntPath=$1
echo $mntPath

if [ "$mntPath" == "" ]; then 
        exit 
fi

mount -t proc none $mntPath/proc
mount --rbind /sys $mntPath/sys
mount --rbind /dev $mntPath/dev

chroot $mntPath/ /bin/bash

You call the script with the mount path as parameter and of cause with
root rights.
