You fix it here it breaks again over there :( Turns out the drive is OK(at least the file system), it was another drive on the same cable. But now grub wont work at all. Interesting, at first grub could boot xp and gentoo, then xp failed and now gentoo wont boot -- no matter how I set grub up, from the command-line, boot floppy, as a grub-install. It doesn't matter the partition either; there's either a crash or the thing boots to an error message such as "end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0". Needless to say the floppy drive is fine. Or, "The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly"
