Decided to try and install Gentoo on my Athalon 1800 this weekend. Everything seemed to go well, until I installed Grub. I got the Grub boot/splash screen, booted into Windows fine.Then I tried Gentoo, and got "kernel panic - unable to mount filesystem" I know I probably screwed up the syntax of the grub.conf file. I tried editing the Grub boot from the splash screen, but now neither Gentoo or Windows will boot. I know I can FDISK /MBR and nuke Grub, but I want to try and get back in. If I boot off the Gentoo Stage3 install disk, can I get to root and edit my grub.conf file ? I am fairly new to this, and would appreciate all help, TIA GarySounds reasonable, particularly as this describes the gentoo install process. I just went through the gentoo install on my Ultra SPARC over the weekend.
I would boot the system off of the cdrom, configure the network, skip the fdisk and make of the filesystems and swap space, swapon, mount your filesystems and then chroot.
