just thougt you'd be pleased to know that i almost have a fuly working gentoo system with gui. infact i'm currently writing this from it.
I have 2 hard drives, 1 80gig (primary ide controler, winxp pro) devided into 5 partitions and one 13gig drive (secondary ide gentoo /dev/hdc) into 4 partitions running gentoo.
Now so that i didn't mess up my other drive i only had the 13gig drive connect when installing gentoo and configured Grub accordingly:
whenever i swtich between windows and gentoo i have to unplug the windows drive inoder for gentoo to load, windows however will load wether or not the gentoo drive is pluged in.
could you tell me what i need to put in my grub.conf to have both drives in together and the ability to boot into either gentoo or XP. I did start but then never followed through.
