sys-boot/grub has two slots. The default slot 0 with version numbers |
| 27 |
around 0.92-0.97 is grub-1 (or grub legacy). Slot 2 with version numbers |
| 28 |
around 1.99 is grub-2. Because it is still in development hell, it has |
| 29 |
not reached version 2.00. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
IIRC, sys-boot/grub-static is mostly there for systems that cannot |
| 32 |
compile grub, for example AMD64 no-multilib profiles. |

Hope this helps, |
