you wouldn't beleive how many times that used to happen to me!
what you need to do is mount your boot partition...
eg.
mount /dev/hda1 /boot
replace hda1 with your actual partition..
Hope this helps

Oh, I think you will need to mount your root partition first, and then mount the boot partition...
mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/gentoo/
...
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
then chroot into the /mnt/gentoo directory... then go fix your grub file...
let me know if you need more help
