Gentoo Linux

[Lucas Peet]

It's a 6GB drive partitioned as so:

hdc1 - /boot - 300Mb
hdc2 - swap  - 384Mb
hdc3 - /     - Rest of drive

How are your partions set up?  Is your /boot partion within the first 
512MB?  If its not, you may have to boot from a floppy, cd, or another 
drive to use your new install.
