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 used grub from portage. After I added menu.lst symlink, problem was solved.
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.
