Did you use udev? There's a spot about using a certain profile if you're using the 2.4. Udev only works on 2.6 and up (and not on some of the older 2.6 kernels). Reboot with the livecd chroot, enter the chrooted environment and check your kernel config for DEVFS. Make sure it's compiled in (Not a module) and it's set to mount automatically at boot. Also, make sure that udev isn't installed (emerge -s udev) and if it is uninstall it (emerge --unmerge udev).
the error he's getting is unrelated to the /dev management ... he cant even launch init because glibc requires a newer kernel than he has installed -mike
