Just to make sure, remember that grub has to be installed in the boot sector
of your drive and it needs a built in reference so it can find the config
file and stage2-*s. Assuming you followed the install guides on gentoo.org
you would have looked through the following
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2005.0/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=10#doc_chap2
Also consider that grub doesn't understand sda or hda terminology, only
numbers. The stuff on the kernel line is for the kernel to pick up and use in
conjunction with your /etc/fstab file

Sigh. I like to think it's just the Linux people who want to be on
the "leading edge" so bad they walk right off the precipice.
