hi i'm looking for a bit of help with grub.
when system reboots grub gives error "file could not be found"
so i asume i've just miss typed the gentoo kernel name in the grub conf file.
whats the easies way to edit it? i tried booting form live cd but i can't remound proc and boot so didn't want to try chrooting. any ideas?
Cheers

you can view and edit (for this boot only) the grub.conf, so you can enter your system again. Make sure you know the name of your kernel image

I know. The point is, that once you encounter the error, you can tweak your boot options to get the thing to boot

Have a look in the Grub Error Collection.
