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".

did that. No good.
