I have almost exactly the same setup. What you do is follow the grub configure in the Installation Instructions and simply put (hd0,2) wherever it lists (hd0,0). Everything else should remain the same, including setup (hd0) which puts grub in the MBR.
Hope this helps,

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.
