have you tried grubs completion? if you type "kernel (hd1,1)/" and then |
| 31 |
<tab> it should try and complete the line for you. (from the grub |
| 32 |
command prompt, once you've booted into the grub shell) It could be |
| 33 |
possible that your bios / grub have swapped the drive assignment around |
| 34 |
during boot. Try all your (hdx,y) combinations with grub completion |
| 35 |
until you find one that has /gentoo on it. |

it shouldn't interfere with /boot or / |
