So anyway, it was like, 21:29 CEST May 03 2004, you know? Oh, and, yeah,
Dave was all like, "Dude,

The most likely reason for the message is that you indeed lack a
mount point. The solution is to create one, 'mkdir /mnt/gentoo/proc',
assuming that your chroot is /mnt/gentoo.

(I think that's 'mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc', btw, but I
may be incorrect there.)

It's not a big difference from the 2.4 kernel, really. The big
difference is that you don't emerge alsa-drivers since they're already
in the kernel.

Just merge 'development-sources' instead of 'vanilla-sources' or
'gentoo-dev-sources' instead of 'gentoo-sources'.

What steps are missing? Posting a bug report at http://bugs.gentoo.org
might save future users from having the same difficulties as you are
having, especially if you've figured out the missing parts already.

I've failed at installing source distributions before I found gentoo,
and I must say that it's got, by far, the best documentation there is.
It's just a matter of finding the right page, most of the time.
