I'm installing gentoo running debian.  I have another os so the boot partition should be properly set up.  This is on an ancient hp proliant dl385, Gen 1.  debian is running grub 2.02~beta3-5.  This machine does not use uefi, and the raid driver is in the kernel.

 Do i need to hack together the device map or?  Any help appreciated, thank you. 

Unfortunately i'm more familiar with grub legacy than grub2, studying manual now (it's very verbose and takes a bit to absorb enough to use it.
