I got this to work too: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
# grub |
| 14 |
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 |
| 15 |
grub> root (hd0,6) |
| 16 |
grub> setup (hd0,6) |
| 17 |
grub> quit |
| 18 |
# |
| 19 |

Why setup didn't get this right via emerge I have no idea, unless it didn't |
| 21 |
actually do anything toward actually setting Grub up. If so, it could be |
| 22 |
there was already some mismatched Grub code there already from a previous use |
| 23 |
of the sectors there that didn't like the file format. |
