fedora (FC5) is on hda (master), hdb (slave) has windows 2000 and gentoo.
I'm only unable to boot gentoo. When booting gentoo here's the error
message:

Not sure why there's not /mnt/gentoo/boot/grub/grub.conf file, but I took
down what I believe the correct info is, kernel and so forth, in order to
boot gentoo.
