Well, I got Gentoo installed without benefit of an Internet connection.
The live CD did very well, although the AMD64 live CD is apparently
missing the portage directory. I didn't know how to make a dialup
connection on install to get the folder so I moved down to the x86 LCD and
it went ok.

At the end of the process, I did a genkernel default compile and a basic
GRUB installation. Before I rebooted I checked the /boot and /boot/grub
directories to make sure that I had something that might possibly boot.
They looked just about like any other Linux - a normal image and grub.conf
file.

Rebooted just fine, except for some kernel modules or hardware that are
missing - something for later when I will make a custom kernel.

But.... When I look in /boot now, it is empty! Nothing.

So how am I booting with an empty /boot directory. Obviously grub knows
to look somewhere for the proper info, but what moved it? A locate search
for grub.conf only comes up with a man page.

I am lost and don't want to continue till I understand this.

Anybody?
