Perhaps you forgot to mount your /usr or your /bin partition?

Was your extraction of the Stage1 tar and subsiquent bootstrap of the
system successful and without errors during install? /bin/mount is
included in all 3 stage tarfiles. Sounds like yours had some problems.

I only created hda1, hda2, and hda3. I kept everything just about
dead-on with the manual. Should I start over?

Have you checked if there is a problem with your installation medium?
Check the md5 checksums if you have time...

This is a non-issue with a stage 1 install isn't it? If not, I've
used the same minimal LiveCD in about 10 other installs. The last
half have been pretty routine, and never I've never seen a situation
like this.

Actually, a couple funny things come to mind. I did have to use
bootstrap-cascade.sh instead of bootstrap.sh because I updated my
deprecated profile as instructed to do by the initial emerge sync.
That hasn't happened before. After that I realized I had forgotten to
set up /etc/portage/package.use so I did a Ctrl+C, made the file,
started the bootstrap again, and everything went smoothly.
