1 Unfortunately you cannot chroot from a 32bit environment to a 64bit
2 environment. But if you have a running 64bit RedHat everything works as
3 before.
4 Alternatively you just use the Gentoo-liveCD (64bit) and maybe even try
5 the installer.

7 Btw. you don't have to install an amd64 environment it is as well
8 possible to use the x86.
