I'm no expert, but here goes...
When the GRUB screen comes up, pess "c" to get a GRUB command line.
Now type
and then
| Code: | | kernel /boot **Press tab, not enter now** |
Since GRUB is cool, it does filename copletion like that. You should see a list of files in your boot directory. If you don't have a kernel image there, you need to copy it from your source direcory -- instructions on that are in the Gentoo Installation Guide. Be sure to type the "kernel" in lowercase; I noticed that in your post it was "Kernel." Also, since you have already set your root to (hd0,0) ther is no need to do (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage, just /boot/bzImage should work fine. Once you figure out something that works, modify it in your /boot/grub/grub.conf file - see the installation instructions if necessary.
Oh yeah, and don't forget your kernel arguments, otherwise your kernel won't find the root file system and your cd burner won't work.
Hope this helps, but no guarantees

The simplest method to get back in if you need to, is to boot off the livecd then
| Code: |
mkdir /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
chroot /mnt/gentoo
env-update
source /etc/profile
|
Assuming your kernel compile
(make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install etc)
went ok, the bzImage should be in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot - just copy it to /boot, and everything should be sorted!
