Gentoo was installed and all seemed well until I wanted to add some parameters to the kernel line (for cd burner). I noticed that I didn't have /boot/grub (so no /boot/grub/menu.lst). All I had was bzImage and bzImage.orig in /boot.

I have since created /boot/grub/menu.lst but GRUB doesn't seem to want to use them.

Any idea if I mucked something up during the install? Everything else is working perfectly (x, fluxbox, grip, etc).

All help will be GREATLY appreciated! :)

You did mount /boot before you looked in there, didn't you?

I thought the stuff in /etc/fstab was mounted automatically. Oddly enough, the noauto means something in there! :oops: Read through the man pages and found the information I needed.

Mounted /boot and all is well. Guess we all learn sometime.

Thanks for the help.
