Hmmmm,
If I install XP in the partition and it writes over the MBR,
then, upon reboot, how do I get to grub.conf so I have the
option to reboot the gentoo, then run grub setup?
something like this for my previously shown setup?:
grub> root (hd0,0) (Specify where your /boot partition resides)
grub> setup (hd0) (Install GRUB in the MBR)
grub> quit (Exit the GRUB shell)
Do I run grub setup when XP is booted up?
Should I use a lived CD to boot up and fix grub?
easy and painless is what I had in mind...
Not to mention any potential gotchas....
James
