I did get this to work:

title Gentoo single user
kernel (hd0,0)/bzImage-2.6.38-r5-1 root=/dev/sda3 rw single

So, all I need now is to figure out how to get this work:

title Gentoo boot level
kernel (hd0,0)/bzImage-2.6.38-r5-1 root=/dev/sda3 softlevel=boot

It appears the softlevel= is no longer working with the new openrc.  It 
looks like the docs need to be updated.  I also tried init= and it 
doesn't work either.

Time to go farther up the food chain I guess. The docs need to be 
changed at least.
