I spoke too soon, too. Sys-boot/grub-0.97-r17 compiled and installed all 
right, as a package, but when I went to install it to the MBR I got an error 
complaining of a mismatch or corruption in stage X. The wording was 
something like that, and I forget the value of X. There was no mention of 
disk space, and the boot partition is 2GB, so I think it's something else.

Installing sys-boot/grub-static-0.97-r12 instead went smoothly, so I've left 
it like that for the moment.

Does the team think I should go back to grub-0.97-r17, take proper records 
and file a bug report?
