No, it says to install the boot code into the first partition of the disk, not the mbr. This would be useful if you use a microsoft mbr (fdisk /mbr, or fixboot from a recovery console), which looks for the 'active' partition to determine which OS to load. You want "setup (hd0)" -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
