Details:

Fresh install of Gentoo with new partitions.

Toshiba Satellite M30

/dev/hda1 is /boot.

Grub appears to install fine using grub-install (no errors).

After bios loads, the word GRUB appears immediately in the top left corner of
the screen.  This is not the grub> prompt.  It is just the single word GRUB. 


Pressing any key several times results in beeps.  (keyboard buffer fills?)

I have deleted all partitions and repartitioned the drive before fresh
install - same result.

I tried moving my boot partition farther along the drive (/dev/hda9) but same
result.

Deleted grub.conf - same result
Recreated grub.conf - same result
Reinstalled grub-install - same result

After two days I can safely say that nothing I have tried has had any effect
at all.

It seems like Grub just isn't loading.  No luck in the forums.
