So I found on gentoo wiki:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Installation_alternatives#Installing_Gentoo_from_an_existing_Linux_distribution
root #env -i HOME=$HOME TERM=$TERM chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
root #/usr/sbin/env-update
root #source /etc/profile
But when I run second command after chrooting in
/usr/sbin/env-update
I get:
/usr/sbin/env-update
Traceback (most recent call last):

Partition is mounted to correct directory and chrooting in works fine. There you go wiz'es, show me your magic!
Edit: huh, it creates that traceback no matter what emerge command I run... makes me 'tink 'dis eazy solushion...
Solved: I forgot to mount
# mount -t proc none proc
# mount --rbind /sys sys
# mount --rbind /dev dev
before chrooting. Totally not a noob.
