The symlink was something I tried "once". I installed twice, and I |
| 2 |
/did/ have a /mnt/gentoo/boot/boot/grub directory, and both times grub |
| 3 |
would not install. With the same error each time. |

|

The fact that the error was trying /boot/grub/stage1 and not |
| 6 |
/boot/boot/grub/stage1 was the only reason I tried the symlink. |

Everything you state, is what I did, with /mnt/gentoo/boot being the |
| 9 |
mount, etc. So, am not sure why grub did not like it. |

When you installed Gentoo Linux, your boot partition should have been |
| 35 |
mounted |
| 36 |
at /mnt/gentoo/boot. I don't know what you're talking about with this |
| 37 |
symlink |
| 38 |
hack that you keep mentioning; all I can say it that any "fixes" of this |
| 39 |
sort |
| 40 |
are not required. Once Gentoo Linux is installed from the install CD, |
| 41 |
you |
| 42 |
should have a /mnt/gentoo/boot/boot/grub directory. Please note that |
| 43 |
"boot/boot" *is* correct and shouldn't be changed at all. As long as |
| 44 |
you had |
| 45 |
your reiserfs boot partition mounted at /mnt/gentoo/boot, all should be |
| 46 |
well. |
