grub's (hd0,0) == /dev/hda1 or sda1; (hd0,1) == hda2...
you *should* know what you partitioned for what, if you forgot, you
can boot a live cd and check what you wrote in /etc/fstab. the
recommended install from the gentoo handbook is hda1 for /boot - so my
grub configuration looks like this:

title Gentoo
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.17-gentoo-r4 root=/dev/sda3

replace root=/dev/sda3 with your root file system (maybe something
like /dev/hda2 or whatever)

error from what? grub? lilo? at what point?
if you need more help with any of this, you need to provide more info.

Yes,
I know what partitions made.  However, I have 2 other Gentoo machines
and I always use root to be on hda3.  But I thought (and it has never
caused a prob) hd0,0 was root.  Lesson noted.
Thanks.

[gentoo-laptop] kernel panic

[Gavin Seddon]

Hi,
I thought it odd to make a huge error like this.
grub won't setup (hd0) with root as hd0,3.Anyway the docs say
'grub> root (hd0,0)    (Specify where your /boot partition resides)
grub> setup (hd0)     (Install GRUB in the MBR)
grub> quit            (Exit the GRUB shell)'
so use hd0,0 where /boot is.
