Pretty simple- create a filesystem on the spare partition, mount the
Gentoo CD and the new filesystem, cd to the new filesystem, unpack the
stage1, 2, or 3 tarball of your choice from the CD into the new
partition, and chroot to your Gentoo partition.  Then you get to start
downloading the portage tree, bootstrapping, building a new kernel, and
having fun seeing what packages are there (my favorite ebuilds for KDE
CVS will probably never make it into the portage tree).
