Greetings all,

Well, I finally got past stage 2 on my server here, and after doing most of stage 3, I got to the grub part. Well, I can't seem to get past it. I have my partitions setup as follows:

sda1 = /boot (/mnt/gentoo/boot) ext2
sda2 = swap
sda3 = / (/mnt/gentoo) ext3

sdb1 = swap
sdb2 = /usr (/mnt/gentoo/usr) ext3

Following the documentation results in the following, everytime...

grub> root (hd0,2)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83

grub> setup (hd0)
Checking if `/boot/grub/stage1` exists... no
Checking if `/grub/stage1` exists... no

Error 15: file not found

The directory /boot/grub does exist, and in it is a file (512 bytes) named stage1, so I'm not sure what is going on here.

One thing I did note however, I tried emerge lilo and it failed saying it could not find the /boot directory, as well, when I type mount, all I get is...

# mount
/dev/sda3 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime)
/tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
#

So it would appear at least that I have no /dev/sda1 and no /dev/sdb2 mounted at all! Is this normal, a side-effect of the chroot or something? I mounted all three in the prior stage as per the documentation, so I'm not sure what is going on. If any grub and/or Gentoo guru's want to point a newbie in the proper direction, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Mr. D

This should be
Code:
grub> root (hd0,0)
