So my question is that I've configured the kernel using genkernel and

I'm not a grub expert so please let know if this is correct please.

<grub utility>

grub> setup (hd0)
grub> quit
*****************
<grub.conf>
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=My Gentoo Linux (compiled by genkernel)
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-KV root=/dev/hda3
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-KV
If you've got a boot partition you must not have /boot in the path to 
the kernel/initrd
My gentoo specific part of grub.conf looks like this:

title Gentoo Linux
       root (hd0,0)
       kernel /kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/hda7
       initrd /initrd-2.4.20-gentoo-r5
HTH,

This is my question. Does the above look configured correctly and are 
the "grub.conf (kernel and initrd lines)" suppose to look like this:

"kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-/boot/kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r5 
root=/dev/hda3 vga=795"

"initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-/boot/initrd-2.4.20-gentoo-r5

How are these lines suppose to look very specifically from:

kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel- <from this point here...on>

Oh ya..

The install guide says:

Using framebuffer

People who have selected framebuffer in their kernel should add 
vga=xxx to their bootloader configuration file.

How do I know if this has been selected. Where do I look? Remember I'm 
a noob so please put the kids gloves on.. I'm not stupid just a new to 
linux somewhat.
