this Is what I created for my partition layout, I"m just a little confused on some of the mounting part.. because I didn't create a /boot  just / which I know boot will be in, in.. /etc/boot/ I do believe. =)  

Device 	   Boot	 	Start		End	Blocks	ID	 System
/dev/hda1   		     1	           3272			 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2     *		3273		4184		83	 Linux
/dev/hda3		4185		4366		82	 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hda4		4367		6798		83	 Linux


And this here is what I'm trying to figure out .any help would be appreciated..

Code Listing 15: Mounting partitions
# mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo
# mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
