It looks like you messed up your devfs, Hopefully your single usermode
is still working.
if you couldn't find your grub.conf, that means your probably using
lilo! So assuming that this might work
-- To get into single user mode -----
When you boot your computer you should see the lilo prompt and then
after a preset time your computer should boot linux(if no prompt hold
shift while booting).
when you see the lilo: prompt hit tab it will give you a list of OS's to
boot.
usually Linux is called 'linux'
then type 'linux 1'
this tells lilo to boot linux in init level 1, which is single user
mode.
3 is multi user, and 5 is usually XDM
Once your in, try to undo your changes.
If that doesn't work use the gentoo basic CD to boot into rescue mode.
then at a prompt mount your root fs into a new directory then do the
changes.
i.e
mkdir /mnt/linux
mount -t (ext2/3/reiserfs) /dev/hda1 /mnt/linux
vi /mnt/linux/etc/devfs.conf
let me know if this helps.
