Well, as of always, im always messing around with different OSs and this time i decided to give Gentoo linux a shot. Anyways, as a linux newbie, i went along with stage 3. Everything thing went alright AFAIK, except for one thing. GRUB. Looks like i entered the wrong configurations in grub.conf, and i did RTFM. The difference between my system and the manual is that i have a copy of windows running on a partition. Here is my /dev/hda (the only hard drive i have installed on my pc) info (from fdisk):

btw, i installed linux kernel 2.4.20
and if you're curious my specs are
AthlonXP 2200+
256mb DDR
80 gig hd
ATI Radeon 7000 agp 4x 64mb ddr
So what am I supposed to enter in grub.conf?

root (hd0,4)
kernel /vmlinuz-[version of kernel] ro root=/
-optional * if you need an initrd, it goes here. Otherwise, save and that's it * optional -
initrd /initrd-[version of kernel].img
save that and reboot. No need to re-setup grub.

That won''t give you an option to boot up windows. Read up on gnu.org. Look for grub and it has a whole bunch of sample grub.conf''s.
