If you have your /dev/sda only for Gentoo, you would install grub into |
| 17 |
/dev/sda and have /dev/sda1 for /boot, for example: |
| 18 |
/dev/sda1: /boot |
| 19 |
/dev/sda2: / |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
The bios will load grub from mbr of /dev/sda and since you specify that |
| 22 |
grub can find it's stuff on /dev/sda1 (root), it can continue to find |
| 23 |
the kernel, etc.. Once found, it can load the kernel and mount root, |
| 24 |
because it's the kernel parameter. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
For example: |
| 27 |
root(hd0,0) |
| 28 |
setup (hd0) |
| 29 |

You can also have your /boot and / on the same partition. |
