Change the "kernel line" to:

kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.14-gentoo-r5-fb root=/dev/ram0 init=linuxrc 
ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda3 quiet video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1024x768-32@60 
splash=silent,fadein,theme:emergence quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1

That should do it.

Precaution: Create a *new* grub entry for testing first. ;-)
