It looks to me like loader can not find my *cdrom*!
But that is strange, because kernel just booted from CD,
so it *must* see it!
Unfortunately, it's the BIOS that does this. The kernel cannot boot by
itself by some magical means. The BIOS must boot it.
Your hard drives are SATA as well (on the same controller) and only the
CD drive can't be found? That's strange. I suggest opening a bug about
it.
I have 2 sata hard-drives, and 1 sata dvd-writer, all attached to the
same controller (part of nvidia nforce4 southbridge). Despite of that,
only hard-drive partitions are correctly detected...
I tested gentoo-2008.0 on different computer, but again with sata-disk
and sata-dvd, and this time P35-chipset (Intel). No problem! It seems
to me the problem is in sata_nv module (nVidia chipset): it is loaded,
but detects only disks, no cd/dvd drives. Maybe compilled without
cd-filesystem support?
FYI, I downloaded old good install-amd64-minimal-2007.0.iso, burned,
booted, and gues what? All works! I'm going to open bug about it...
