Adapted from the Gentoo handbook:

Boot into a live CD, and do something like
mkdir /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/gentoo # (replace hdb1 with your linux partition)
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash

then see this page:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=10http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=10

You may have to change your grub configuration to match the new
location of the linux partition, if you've shuffled your drives in the
box post-mortem, but otherwise the configuration should be fine the
way it is.  Then scroll down to "Default: Setting up GRUB using
grub-install" and follow the instructions there.

Hope this helps you fix the issue,

Simon
