4 so, you've fdisk'd all your partitions to be the sizes you want. Now, to make a reiserfs partition, just do:
5
6 mkreiserfs /dev/hda1
7
8 or the equivalent depending on which paritions you'd like to filesystemize. :)

14 let's say your root filesystem is hda1. to mount that to /mnt/gentoo, make sure that /mnt/gentoo exists (if not, mkdir -p /mnt/gentoo) and do:
15
16 mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo
17 mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
18 mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/gentoo/boot
19
20 again, i'm assuming that hda1 is your root partition and hda2 is your boot. you'll surely going to need to fix those numbers for your specific install.

22 hope that helps out. if not, drop by #gentoo on the openprojects irc network (irc.linux.com, irc.debian.org, etc.)
