fedora (FC5) is on hda (master), hdb (slave) has windows 2000 and gentoo.
I'm only unable to boot gentoo. When booting gentoo here's the error
message:
Booting "gentoo"
map () ()

filesystem type is ext3fs, partion type is 0x83

press any key to continue...
and here's my /boot/grub/grub.conf from hda:

Not sure why there's not /mnt/gentoo/boot/grub/grub.conf file, but I took
down what I believe the correct info is, kernel and so forth, in order to
boot gentoo.

The map commands and chainloaders are almost certainly not necessary. Try:
title Gentoo
kernel (hd1,1)/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5
root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hdb4
initrd (hd1,1)/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.15-gentoo-r5
HTH,

Progress :)
New error message:

Possibly non existen or swap device?

Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D to continue).

I don't think it's a problem with grub per se, but that hdb used to be
hda, which is why there's an error regarding the filesystem of hda.
Gentoo needs to be "informed", I think, that it's on hdb now.
