What version of Grub you're using isn't so important as the principle that *you already have a bootloader, so there's no need to install another one*. Just skip the bootloader section of the Gentoo install completely and add Gentoo to the option list of your exiting bootloader configuration. |

Were you installing Gentoo alongside an existing installation of another distro that used Grub 0.9x (for instance) then this could be done (for instance) by booting to the other distro and entering `mount /boot && vi /boot/grub/grub.conf`. |
