Go to http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/where.xml ; pick mirror you like and download install-amd64-minimal-[0-9]*.iso, for example - this one: 

   wget http://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/amd64/autobuilds/current-iso/install-amd64-minimal-20120621.iso

Mount gentoo LiveCD

   # mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom/
   # mount -o loop install-amd64-minimal-20120621.iso /mnt/cdrom/
   mount: warning: /mnt/cdrom/ seems to be mounted read-only.


Mount usb stick

   # mkdir -p /mnt/usb/
   # mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb/


Copy contents of LiveCD to usb stick

   # cp -aR /mnt/cdrom/* /mnt/usb/
   # mv /mnt/usb/isolinux/* /mnt/usb
   # mv /mnt/usb/isolinux.cfg /mnt/usb/syslinux.cfg
   # rm -rf /mnt/usb/isolinux*
   # mv /mnt/usb/memtest86 /mnt/usb/memtest
   # sed -i \
        -e "s:cdroot:cdroot slowusb:" \
        -e "s:kernel memtest86:kernel memtest:" \
        /mnt/usb/syslinux.cfg


Unmount medias

   # umount /mnt/cdrom/
   # umount /mnt/usb/

Install syslinux

   note guide # syslinux /dev/sdb1
