Description:   Opened: 2008-05-09 08:50 0000 
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.

ive restored the menu.lst -> grub.conf symlink
