Hi Stroller, there is nothing complicated, the only thing you should take care of is, that you run grub-mkconfig to get an initial grub.cfg and grub-install and you should in case of system failure know, how to boot with a livecd, chroot your environment and switch back to your old grub/config. Help with chroot you'll find here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?full=1#book_part1_chap6 So, be brave! der Max
