Actually, in this case, /dev/hdd IS hd2, because GRUB does not count hdb (because it is a CD burner, not a hard drive). (So actually, the first part of what you wrote is correct--hd2 IS the 3rd hard disk, which in my case is /dev/hdd.)
Thanks for the input (and to Noam), but in the meantime I found the solution to the problem. I just ran grub-install, and it worked fine. I guess there are some cases that the Gentoo install instructions do not cover... (Now I just have to get my Zoom Lucent winmodem working... It works OK under Redhat though, so I am hopeful.)

Remember that grub starts counting from 0 not 1. Hope that helped, if not contact me privately and I'll help you.
