My $million advice. Go to www..gnu.org, and just download the Grub source and compile it. Just make a note somewhere on your copy of the Gentoo manual (you did print it out didn't you? haha) that grub is not in the emerge system. Problem solved. Once you know where all of grub resides (locate

Thank you!!! My rc.conf file contained no "CLOCK="" line, so I missed it. This seems like it was overlooked or a bug in the install process. Now it appears that my Gentoo OS is keeping time. However, it is yet to be seen whether the BIOS keeps its time since it appeared to also be a problem.
