After folowing the installation guide (and using genkernel, together with the grub.conf that goes with it) I rebooted and the gentoo grub screen came up (that kind of purple thing).
So I select the only kernel in the list and the system runs through some stuff before coming up with
"attempt to access beyond end of device"
a load of times then presenting me with a shell.
I guess I must have copied down the grub.conf file wrong. Is there any way of retrieving it without starting again? |

That probably means you missed the 'ramdisk=8192' option in your grub.conf.
If you do get a working prompt, you can do:
| Code: |
mount /boot
nano -w /boot/grub/grub.conf
|
And fix it. If not, you can boot from the LiveCD and mount your boot partition like you did in the installation. |
