but again, you're free to use whatever
Filesystem | Size | Mountpoint |

At this stage, I normally choose the regular kernel w/ OpenRC. You can use Hardened or SELinux if you want but I choose the normal kernel since some games don't work correctly on Hardened Kernel (i.e. Halo Infinite)
You can download the Stage 3 @ https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/
Once you pick a stage 3 of your choice, extract it with the following command
tar xpvf stage3-*.tar.xz --xattrs-include='*.*' --numeric-owner
Once it's extracted, feel free to delete the tarball if you want too
