+ * update-menu-lst which will create a menu.lst for you if one does not exist
+   or manually create one, and skip to step 4
+
+ * edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
+   or if /boot is a separate partition
+   edit /boot/boot/grub/menu.lst
+
+   and change groot, and kopt to whatever settings you need.
+   modify anything else in the menu.lst you want,
+
+   re-run update-grub to update the lines for each kernel to those
+   that you specified with groot and kopt
+
+update-menu-lst
+---------------
+This script is a debian specific addon used to generate a menu.lst for you
+either intially, and/or automatically everytime you install a new kernel.
+
+To setup automatic updates add these lines to your /etc/kernel-img.conf:
+
+postinst_hook = update-grub
+postrm_hook   = update-grub
+do_bootloader = no
+
+For further information see the manpage kernel-img.conf(5) or update-menu-lst(8)
+
+Unlike Lilo, it is not necessary to re-run or re-install the boot loader 
+after every change to /boot/grub/menu.lst.  menu.lst is automatically 
+found on GRUB's root disk and read during GRUB's boot process.
