GRUB doesn't load the system (QEMU VM)

[P2erut]

I installed gentoo exactly from the handbook (amd64) in QEMU virtual machine.

QEMU options: qemu-system-x86_64 -hda /mnt/ssd/gentoo/gentoo.img -cdrom /mnt/ssd/gentoo/install-amd64-minimal-20241020T170324Z.iso -boot order=dc -m 4G -cpu host,+avx,enforce -enable-kvm -smp 12 -net nic -net user

After installing GRUB, I entered <eject cdrom> from QEMU monitor to remove the .iso image.

After rebooting, this is what i saw: Booting from Hard Disk... ; under it was GRUB with blinking cursor next to the text, no errors or whatsoever, grub is not able to boot the system.
