During the install of stage3-i686-2008.0_beta2, instalation of sys-boot/grub-0.97-r5 creates no /boot/grub/menu.lst symlink, required for proper start of grub. Reproducible: Always Actual Results: Grub starts but it offers no menu, but shell.
This is not a release bug. That version of grub isn't even in the snapshot used to build _beta2. Did you actually try to boot and it failed? I'm pretty sure grub (at least gentoo's) will work with just grub.conf, but I could be wrong.

I had the same problem. at the grub prompt, i wrote"configfile /boot/grub/grub.conf" and then i got the usual menu. ln -s /boot/grub/grub.conf menu.lst fixed the problem. I'm on Amd64.
ive restored the menu.lst -> grub.conf symlink http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-boot/grub/grub-0.97-r5.ebuild?r1=1.11&r2=1.12
