1 Well, I gave up trying to figure out why this was not working, and have
2 just installed lilo. Rebooted and all seems to be well.
3
4 However, I have a question. When I do a "df" I see an entry for:
5 /dev /dev-state
6 I have no entry like this in /etc/fstab. What would this be?
7
8 Thanks,

25 Ok, thinking I must have screwed something up...I re-did the entire
26 install, making sure I did it exactly as documented, and I get the same
27 exact error:
28
29 grub> root (hd0,0)
30 Filesystem type is reiserfs, partition type 0x83
31
32 grub> setup (hd0)
33 Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no
34 Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... no
35
36 Error 15: File not found

40 It seems as though grub is located in /boot/boot/grub. So I created a
41 symlink to /boot/grub, and am having the same issues. Can someone
42 enlighten me as too what I am doing wrong?
43
44 My partitions are setup as follows:
45 /dev/hda1 = /boot reiserfs
46 /dev/hda2 = / reiserfs
47 /dev/hda3 = /opt ext2
48 /dev/hda4 = swap

62 Is it possible that you didn't have /boot mounted when you did
63 the "emerge --usepkg system" step? That's the step that
64 should have copied all of the important files to /boot/boot/*.
65
66 Good luck!
