If I change the above hd0 to hd1, will that fix grub?  At the moment
Grub isn't loading, however, as hd0 has been formatted.

So, hd0 needs a boot partition, then at least knoppix will run from
the hard drive.

Ok, easiest thing here is probably to install knoppix, give a MBR to
hd0, then I can mount hd1.  I'm going to continue with installing
knoppix.  If I knew a bit more about grub then I'd fix grub so that
it'd boot gentoo (hd1,0), gentoo (hd1,4) and knoppix (hd0,0), but I'm
a bit hesitant.
