problem installing grub

so i am at the end of my gentoo install. i type grub and enter the grub command prompt. i type "root (hd0,4)" since my boot partition is on hda5. that works fine. then i type "setup (hd0)" but i get the following error:


what is going on. i've installed grub times before and never had a problem. thanks alot.

its mounted. the weird thing is i have to exit chroot to even run grub. someone on the gentoo forums told me that hsouldn't happen, so he told me to emerge grub and then do it and it should work. i'll try that.

*edit* fixed. emerging grub while in chroot fixed it. i don't know why it woudl'nt just read it off the livecd while in chroot like it has in the past. i had to exit chroot before it would recognize the grub command.
