the file /boot/grub/grub.conf has the new config. menu.lst is a symlink to grub.conf /boot is the mount point for /dev/sda1 the boot partition the only thing that I changed is to replace the oldest kernel with the newest. The order shouldn't make any difference, I want the default to be my current working kernel. I want to test the new kernel before I make it the default. Point is that this setup was working previously and has done so since I started using gentoo. I have checked to make sure that /dev/sda1 was really mounted at /boot when I copied everything across, and it was. So I don't know what has gone wrong.
