When you installed Gentoo Linux, your boot partition should have been mounted
at /mnt/gentoo/boot.  I don't know what you're talking about with this symlink
hack that you keep mentioning; all I can say it that any "fixes" of this sort
are not required.  Once Gentoo Linux is installed from the install CD, you
should have a /mnt/gentoo/boot/boot/grub directory.  Please note that
"boot/boot" *is* correct and shouldn't be changed at all.  As long as you had
your reiserfs boot partition mounted at /mnt/gentoo/boot, all should be well.
