20 I have 4 partitions for boot, /, usr and home, so :
21 - mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/gentoo
22 - mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo/boot
23 - mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/gentoo/usr
24 - mount /dev/sda8 /mnt/gentoo/home
25 - mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
26 - mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
27 - cd /mnt/gentoo
28 - chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
29 - emerge grub
30
31 So grub-0.97-r10 is installed, but grub can't create grub directory
32 beause of read-only boot partition...

35 I tried
36
37 - export DONT_MOUNT_BOOT
38 - emerge grub
39
40 But no success...
