craig, i believe you have your numbering a little skewed. grub starts counting from 0 (zero), and the other spec (the hd<letter><number> scheme) starts from 1 (one). so (hd1,0) is /dev/hdb1 (hd1,1) is /deb/hdb2 and so on...
so if your root is in fact /dev/hdb2 this would be the correct line for grub. ----------- title gentoo linux root (hd1,1) kernel (hd1,0)/bzImage root=/dev/hdb2 ----------- note i removed "/boot" from the kernel line because if you are looking at just the boot partition, the file 'bzImage' is in the root.
