The post-install ewarn message contains: ewarn "*** IMPORTANT NOTE: you must run grub and install" ewarn "the new version's stage1 to your MBR. Until you do," ewarn "stage1 and stage2 will still be the old version, but" ewarn "later stages will be the new version, which could" ewarn "cause problems such as an unbootable system." ewarn "This means you must use either grub-install or perform" ewarn "root/setup manually! For more help, see the handbook:" ewarn "http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-${ARCH}.xml?part=1&chap=10#grub-install-auto" But the Handbook link returns a 404 error...
