I am having some difficulties w/ installing Gentoo 1.4 & hope to get some help. The hdd partition is:

/dev/hda1 (W2k/ FAT32)
/dev/hda2 (boot +32M)
/dev/hda3 (swap +512M)
/dev/hda4 (root around 7GB)

I made some mistake in GRUB for which I have to hand hack the booting process every time; I was wondering how I could edit /boot/grub/grub.conf. When I log onto the shell I cannot find that file in that location.

My grub entry according to the Installation manual is:


kernel (hd0,1)/boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda4


or

kernel (hd0,1)/boot/kernel-KV root=/dev/hda4

which gives a "file not found" error.

However, handhacking of the bootloader to enter the following make the booting fine:

#kernel (hd0,1)/boot/kernel-gentoo-1.4* root=/dev/hda4
#initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-(TAB) gives initrd output
#boot

But this hand-hacking also gives some error like not recognizing my boot partition & asking me to run efsck2 taking me to a single user mode.

Any kind of help on this would be helpful.
