Can you boot from a linux cd ?Hello,
I've just been given a gentoo system, that was installed about 8 months ago(stage 1). When I try to boot the machine I get as far a Grub 1.5 and this error message:
"GRUB Loading styage 1.5. GRUB loading, please wait Error 17"
What alternatives (like a boot floppy) do I have to get this system up, so I can copy off critical files?
This system did work, as I set it up initially for a friend, but now it's hosed.....

help yourself with the following installation guide (you will *not* need to do all steps)
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml
with this you can read/write on your disk.
To make it function again you want to redo *all* in
"Code Listing 1.11: Install and configure GRUB"
section, (alternatively to emerge grub , emerge grub-static)
