Yup, I created the boot partition, although, I guess there is a chance
I didn't mount it when I installed the kernel the first time.

But, keep in mind, that the modules were also not installed the first
time (and they live on the root partition in /lib/modules/).

However, once I booted the LiveCD (2nd time), mounted filesystems,
chroot'ed, and re-did the genkernel, everything seemed to work (I
didn't have to change GRUB's settings).

Thanks!
Matt
