I have attached a somewhat cleaned up and commented version of the hand-written grub config I use at home. Feel free to use as an example for your machines, add it to the wiki and/or the handbook, or make the ebuild install it to /usr/share etc. One of the nice things about grub2 is that you no longer need to know or care about the BIOS disk numbers, you can simply use the UUID of the filesystem (and/or the PARTUUID for the kernel).
