If you boot a machine and grub loads, and you get the grub> prompt, this likely means it couldn't find the config file.
Ensure your grub.conf is in the right place...not sure what your disk/mount setup is, so it's hard to tell where it needs to be.

I was tired and sleepy that day when I was installing gentoo. What I know is that I had configured, compiled and installed the kernel, but I am sure that I've forgot to mark the /boot partition with boot flag. Anyway I've missed some hardware options when I was configuring the kernel, so a day after that I had configured and installed from scratch. All works properly now.
