Okay, so you're giving it its own drive then. Hook that drive up by itself and mint should install much easier (and with much less risk of it trampling over anything else). Once it's installed, you can control which drive your computer boots first through the CMOS settings, or perhaps f12 boot-selection if your BIOS has that.

"alt-f4" doesn't close a window in a prompt because there is no window. You're not in a GUI! You don't have to "escape" the dmesg output either -- it quits by itself when it's done, so do nearly any console commands except editors and viewers. That red thing is a "prompt", when you see a cursor flashing beside it that means the console's waiting for you to type something into it and hit enter.

So you didn't "quit" anything as there was nothing to quit, I think you actually managed to switch to a different console. When a gentoo minimal CD boots it puts you into text mode, in terminal one. There's at least six separate terminals available via ctrl-alt-f1 through ctrl-alt-f6. alt-left or alt-right cycle through them in different directions I think.

alt-f4 is a Windows thing anyway. In lots of window managers it does nothing.
