Thufir,
Grub does not care what kernel it boots, or what OS it implements or
what partition it is stored on. Grub only cares about being able to
find the specified kernel file (in *nix's case). A comprehensive list
of grub's requirements follows:
0) run 'grub' from a running system (gentoo boot cd, perhaps) to which
the desired boot hard drive is attached
a) sprcify the root partition to use (here, 1st hd, 1st partition)
> root (hd0,0)
b) set up bootloader on MBR (in this case; could use hd0,0 for part.)
> setup (hd0)
1) configure grub.conf as (hd0,0)/grub/grub.conf == /boot/grub/grub.conf
a) Specify timeout and default:
default 0
timeout 1 # i am impatient ; )
b) specify the root filesystem for kernel image. this doesn't have
to correlate with any other partition; you can boot an image from
any filesystem grub can read. You could even boot it from
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage if you liked.
root (hd0,0)
c) specify the kernel, and any command line parameters required
by it.
d) specify an initrd, if necessary.
