I was pretty sure that grub2 installed /boot/grub... but I see no such directory after installing grub.
qlist grub shows no directory /boot/grub In other installs I seem to recall seeing /boot/grub in place after installing grub. Googling for pkg containing /boot/grub seemd pretty useless as mostly it turns up all piles of stuff staring grub... but I already know pkg grub-2.02 does not contain that directory or the files in it. qfile /boot/grub <no hits at all> equery b /boot/grub <no hits at all> Before I continue this hard fought fresh install of gentoo into a vbox vm, I'd like to know if I should be seeing a boot grub after these 223 pkgs (which includes grub-2.02) are installed? app-admin/eselect-1.4.9 app-admin/rsyslog-8.28.0 app-arch/libarchive-3.3.1 app-arch/tar-1.29-r3 app-arch/zip-3.0-r3 app-crypt/rhash-1.3.4
