Sounds like good advice, Alan.  But I'm wondering why so many folks
even have a /boot partition these days.  I thought the 1024 cylinder
limit went away a long time ago.  What's the problem now?

Seems like the OP will have to be careful that his two OSes (Gentoo
and Ubuntu) aren't bothering each when sharing a /boot.
