Subject: [gentoo-user] Installing Gentoo: Grub, alternate GNU/Linux system on another partition

I'm giving Gentoo another try, having been using Ubuntu for quite a while,
and more recently Mint. I would like to be able to access Mint until the
Gentoo system is working as I'd like it.
I have gotten through the install, for the most part, up to grub. I can
see how to edit the grub.conf file for my Gentoo partition. However, it
isn't clear to me from the examples how to write a grub.conf entry for
Mint's root (/) partition, on /dev/sda8. I am asking for advice on writing
the grub.conf file.
Here are the various partitions involved:
Gentoo:
/boot /dev/sda1
/ /dev/sda2
Mint (/boot is not separate)
/ /dev/sda8
The Mint kernel is using an initramfs, while I have manually configured the
kernel on Gentoo, at least for now.
Grub 2 is not transparent to me. The kernel is:
/boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-13-generic
the initrd-img file is:
/boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-13-generic
My grub.conf file for gentoo would look like this:
###########
default 0
timeout 30
#splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Gentoo Original
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-3.0.6-gentoo-r1 root=/dev/sda2
###########
I have a few other questions of a more or less minor nature. Perhaps
better to ask them separately.
