Just to make sure, remember that grub has to be installed in the boot sector of your drive and it needs a built in reference so it can find the config file and stage2-*s. Assuming you followed the install guides on gentoo.org you would have looked through the following http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2005.0/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=10#doc_chap2 Also consider that grub doesn't understand sda or hda terminology, only numbers. The stuff on the kernel line is for the kernel to pick up and use in conjunction with your /etc/fstab file -- Sigh. I like to think it's just the Linux people who want to be on the "leading edge" so bad they walk right off the precipice. -- Craig E. Groeschel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
