In grub.conf commented out root(hd0,1) line; modified kernel line to read: kernel (hd0,1)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda4 prepped a floppy and did a grub setup(fd0) as per previous instructions. Now it's Booting 'Gentoo' kernel (hd0,1)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda4 then nothing, not even "file not found". > (by using --force-lba or the 'd' option to grub's > install command). It did that.
