I have added an example grub.cfg to the gentoo repository. https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=ec629c23a6e8cf6c18fa51d69ae11932c7ada3cc Please feel free to commit any obvious improvements or corrections. If you have a common scenario you would like to see added, feel free to ping me about it.
