I got a lot of errors while booting Gentoo, so I've still got a few
bugs to work out. Thanks, guys.
The stage1.5 is really a minimal stage2...it is supposed to contain just
enough code to decipher the filesystem and locate the real stage2.
So, here comes the "bad" news. If you do anything that moves, updates,
or restores the stage2 file, you *must* run those setup instructions
again. This is because the location of the stage2 is now block-mapped
into the stage1.
In fact, you might want to "chattr +i /boot/grub/stage2", update
package.mask to exclude new versions of grub, etc...
Two commands inside a GRUB shell doesn't sound too bad. Still, I think
I should work on getting that stage1.5 file working.
Do you think the file might have been damaged somehow? Maybe it just
didn't like my CFLAGS?
