Try this

start up using the install disk 

then mount the / partition as /mnt/gentoo
on my machine this is
# mount /dev/hda6 /mnt/gentoo

if you need to change the kernel then mount the boot partition
on my machine
# mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/gentoo/boot

then run chroot and update the environment variables

# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
# env-update
# source /etc/profile

When you've finished making changes

# exit
# cd /
# umount /mnt/gentoo/boot
# umount /mnt/gentoo
# reboot
