Copy the Portage repository settings:
livecd /mnt/gentoo # mkdir -p /mnt/gentoo/etc/portage/repos.conf
livecd /mnt/gentoo # cp /mnt/gentoo/usr/share/portage/config/repos.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf
Copy the dns:
cp --dereference /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/
Chroot to system:
mount --types proc /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
