Ron,

FWIW here is my grub menu.list file:

#
# GRUB boot menu
# by:jjb 11/20/01
#
# make the first entry the default OS
# and boot it after 30 seconds
default 0
timeout 30
# if the first OS won't Load fallback to the second
fallback 1

# Windoze 2000 - The current default OS
title winDOZE 20o.
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

# Debian GNULinux - Kernel 2.2.19
title Debian GNULinux - kernel 2.2.19
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.19 root=/dev/hdb1
boot

# Debian GNULinux - Kernel 2.4.12-smp
title Debian GNULinux - Kernel 2.4.12-smp
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.12-686-smp root=/dev/hdb1

# End menu.lst
