Harishankar, these directions sounds clear for me. i don't understand what is exactly the problem.
following acid_kewpie instructions you shall not have troubles.
the only difference here is that you need to be carefull where you mount your root - / - partition, once that you have other OS installed. this is the tricky part.
the idea behind gentoo install is to build your own environment. technically after "chrooting" you are inside gentoo.
you need only to update your boot loader info and compile a kernel. it is done.
That's right. The part where the "chroot" was done was what confused me. Also mirrorselect command was not available in Debian. So those two steps confused me. I proceeded without using mirrorselect anyway.

Thanks for the help, though I figured that one out myself.
