After booting from gentoo minimal livecd, chrooting into my hard
drive, re-emerging grub:0 (just in case it has to be built against my
latest kernel) and then running grub and doing:
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
it booted normally again. I guess I failed to reinstall grub like this
after a portage update at some point... logs show I last instlaled it
in May, and have rebooted since then without problem, maybe it was
something else. Weird. :)
