[plug] grub not booting

[Bill Kenworthy]

I thought ide disks numbering started at zero, not 1.  grub in any case
does start at 0.  I have just done a couple of installs of gentoo where
you have to get your hands a bit dirtier than with redhat etc, and there
is a bit of a guide on grub on their install page.  Have a read of
"www.gentoo.org" (follow the insall link) and see if that offers a clue?
