15 When you installed Gentoo Linux, your boot partition should have been mounted
16 at /mnt/gentoo/boot. I don't know what you're talking about with this symlink
17 hack that you keep mentioning; all I can say it that any "fixes" of this sort
18 are not required. Once Gentoo Linux is installed from the install CD, you
19 should have a /mnt/gentoo/boot/boot/grub directory. Please note that
20 "boot/boot" *is* correct and shouldn't be changed at all. As long as you had
21 your reiserfs boot partition mounted at /mnt/gentoo/boot, all should be well.
