GRUB2 will be stabilized soon (bug 455544). Here's a draft of a news item to hopefully prevent any confusion. Please review.
------------ Title: GRUB2 migration Author: Mike Gilbert <flop...@gentoo.org> Content-Type: text/plain Posted: 2013-09-22 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 1.0 Display-If-Installed: <sys-boot/grub-1 A newer version of GRUB (sys-boot/grub) is now stable. There are now two available slots: sys-boot/grub:0 - Known as "GRUB Legacy" sys-boot/grub:2 - Known as "GRUB2" GRUB2 uses a different configuration format, and requires a manual migration before your system will actually use it. A guide [1] is available on the gentoo.org website. If you would prefer not to migrate at this time, you do not need to take any action: GRUB Legacy will remain functional in /boot. To prevent any associated files (documentation) from being removed, add sys-boot/grub:0 to your world file. For example: emerge --noreplace sys-boot/grub:0 References: [1] http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/grub2-migration.xml
