Next time please search, this issue has been covered many times, and there's even a news posting about it on the main Gentoox website.

Basically, there's no way to get around that. What I'd recommend you do is do the installation via ssh (use PuTTY, it's free and it works great). Otherwise, you're probably not going to get anywhere with that.

EDIT: You could also do the ftp installation, then run the firstboot script via ssh, that might be a little simpler.
