have you tried grubs completion? if you type "kernel (hd1,1)/" and then
<tab> it should try and complete the line for you. (from the grub
command prompt, once you've booted into the grub shell) It could be
possible that your bios / grub have swapped the drive assignment around
during boot. Try all your (hdx,y) combinations with grub completion
until you find one that has /gentoo on it.

it shouldn't interfere with /boot or /
