Then it isn't counting your CD. It will not hurt your gentoo install either and your 
just trying to write to the mbr.. like I said, I thought I remember it counting cd's, 
but I could be wrong..  

When running the setup, it had to find your /boot drive.. SO you should be ready to 
go, just make sure your grub.conf is looking for hd0,0.
