quick setup
-----------

 * 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.
