you are missing the agetty application that is described in your /etc/inittab
file. agetty belongs to sys-apps/util-linux, which you could reemerge by
using your livecd and doing the chroot thing like when you installed. either
that or you are playing with a new kernel, and forgot to compile support for
the filesystem which /sbin is on.
Consider that init calls inittab as soon as the kernel is up, so if it stops,
you will probably only see a few lines from the kernel on screen and not much
else... is this what you are experiencing?
