So in the scenario you are suggesting, is grub working, giving you a
boot choice screen, and your new Gentoo install is not working so
you want to choose Knoppix to repair whatever is wrong with
Gentoo?

If that's the case why shoehorn Knoppix into the boot partition
vs just give it its own partition?
