By default, the majority of Gentoo systems now rely upon GRUB2 (found in the package), which is the direct successor to GRUB Legacy. With no additional configuration, GRUB2 gladly supports older BIOS systems. With a small amount of configuration, necessary before build time, GRUB2 can support more than a half a dozen additional platforms. For more information, consult the Prerequisites section of the GRUB2 article.
