When I was running Gentoo I used grub.  That is my only experience with
it.  Grub is the preferred bootloader for Gentoo, so I installed it.

However, I'm not at all familiar with the process of swithing
bootloaders.  Seems "scary", but I suppose that is just because I'm not
familiar with it.

I don't recall any specific capabilities that would help me address this
problem.  I think my problem is my limited BIOS' ability to handle the
geometry of my HD.
