add udev to sysinit runlevel
and
do this https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-880149.html
and/or edit kernel config to add:
Quote:
-> Device Drivers
-> Generic Driver Options
[*] Maintain a devtmpfs filesystem to mount at /dev
[*] Automount devtmpfs at /dev, after the kernel mounted the rootfs (NEW)
recompile, recopy kernel

in disarray after stabilizing openrc and baselayout2, your symptom is similar but not identical to other boot process hang ups
