When I:
umount /mnt/gentoo

at the end of the installation I get:
umount: /mnt/gentoo: device is busy
umount: /mnt/gentoo : device is busy

What is the procedure to free up /mnt/gentoo?

There are still files using processes from /mnt/gentoo
If you just reboot (that's what you have to do anyway) it's get unmounted automatically.

Probably you're still in the /mnt/gentoo directory and therefore bash is using /mnt/gentoo, in that case cd / would be enough to make /mnt/gentoo unmountable, but again since you want to reboot just reboot and things get unmounted automatically.
