I'm new to Gentoo. After wathing all the compiling and rebooting last night, I received an error that it could not boot into /newroot. There is no device to do it. When I enter in /dev/hda3, it works. How do I fix it so that it will automatically save that, so I don't have to keep on entereing it into the system??

thanks.

when you get the error-message?

if you get it, when grub tries to boot the kernel you could change it in

Code:
/boot/grub/grub.conf



don't forget to mount your boot-partition first with

Code:
mount /boot

I get an error msg thenit gives me the prompt:

boot () or I can press CTRL-D to start up.

To fix the grub I need to press CTRL-D then edit the file and add line
mount /boot?
