I tried to read the ebuild but failed. |

In my case I am sure that I was out of order WRT the way the quick |
| 14 |
install guide says to build the system - first emerge grub, make |
| 15 |
grub.conf, and then install grub. I was thinking I'd get the grub.conf |
| 16 |
file from another system so I didn't bother doing it. After this |
| 17 |
happened - and thanks for your help finding the solution - I started |
| 18 |
wondering if the grub install or even the emerge of grub creates the |
| 19 |
link when grub.conf is there but if it isn't there then there's |
| 20 |
nothing to link to so we end up like my system last evening. |
| 21 |
|

Anyway, just my guess since I know for a fact I didn't have a |
| 23 |
grub.conf file when I did the emerge. |
