In the meantime, does anyone know anything about dual booting Gentoo and 
RedHat? I have both installed, but RH overwrote GRUB and didn't like my 
configuration of the gentoo partitions. I'm about ready to change the 
configuration file. Any bullet poins before I mess up the first 1024 of 
my hard drive?
