Sorry, been out all afternoon.  All you need to do is boot with the
install CD, mount your boot partition, and edit /boot/grub/grub.conf. 
Your settings are generic;"kernel-KV" should be your kernel.  If you
used gentoo-sources (recently), it's kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r7. Here's
mine:

starbaby (~) $ sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /boot
starbaby (~) $ cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd1,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux
root (hd1,0)
kernel (hd1,0)/boot/kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/hdb3 hdc=ide-scsi
initrd (hd1,0)/boot/initrd-2.4.20-gentoo-r7
