hey everyone,

I just finished rebuilding my machine and I repartitioned my box so that 
it looks like:

/dev/hda1 = windows xp (ntfs)
/dev/hda2 = linux swap
/dev/hda3 = gentoo (ext3)

no, I don't have a separate /boot partition.  Anyway, I followed the
installation instructions (excellent btw!) and I'm having problems 
getting grub to install on my MBR.  In the grub prompt, when I type in 
"root(hd0,0)" it would come back with something like "unrecognized file 
type".  After that it's pretty obvious that the "setup(hd0,0)" wasn't 
going to work.  I then ran root(hd0,2) and that went over fine but now 
when I boot up it goes right into windows xp and not the grub boot 
loader because it's not installed on the MBR.

I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Ajay
