Sorry if I missed something in this tome, but I was under the impression that 
a seperate utility, os-prober (or something similar), was needed to scan outside
of the current partition.  Some distros do not include this type of utility by 
default, but it has been 3 years since I installed my Gentoo and I just don't
remember.  Is this off-topic?
