I haven't gotten to the point of installing gentoo/grub on my scsi machine, but
with lilo, and I'd guess grub, also, you need to build an initrd image file. 
You do this with the command "mkinitrd /boot/2.4.19r9.img 2.4.19-gentoo-r9"
(assuming you are using the 2.4.19-gentoo-r9 kernel, will create the file
2.4.19r9.img in your /boot directory. You can look in the /lib/modules/
directory, and use the directory name that's there.)

You then need to add in the menu.lst file the line "initrd /boot/2.4.19r9.img"
following the kernel line.

I have not tried to do this, yet, but it's where I'd start.
