For better or worse, I chose to make /boot part of my root partition. When the grub install starts, I get the error: mount: can't find /boot in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab * Your boot partition has to be mounted on /boot before the installation * can continue. Grub needs to install important files there. !!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully. !!! Function pkg_setup, Line -9, Exitcode 0 !!! Please mount your /boot partition. I think a check for the existence of /boot/grub should suffice, allowing the script to continue, as long as the ebuild never tries to create one!! Since I am capable, I guess I should have done this as a patch, but I don't have any guidelines for the way I should present one. If you can give any pointers, I would appreciate it . . .
This should now be fixed in grub-0.90-r6 (to appear soon on rsync/anoncvs). Thanks for the report!
