Hehe - I may be a gentoo n00b but Im not that bad. Yes there was no floppy in the drive :) > Is the BIOS configured to boot from the hard drive? Yes - I booted just fine prior to the kernel compile with genkernel. I did finally fix the problem - although Im not sure why this worked. Instead of booting to the LiveCD and running grub and doing "root (hd0,0)" and "setup (hd0)" I booted to the floppy (by the way.. the "creating a floppy" rescue instructions will only help in booting to grub cmdline). After booting to floppy I did: root (hd0,0) setup (fd0) That ran with no errors.. I rebooted.. worked fine. Now why would the previous grub commands not work from the LiveCD???
