I've read the manual and still had some questions that hadn't been answered.
Take a look at them and see if you can be bothered to update your documentation to answer them.
Thank you for your time.

The Questions
=========
�I�ve got a 90 MHz Pentium which can�t boot CDs. I�ve got a Red Hat 8 (Publisher�s Edition) which must be booted from CD. What is the GRUB configuration file needed to achieve booting from CDROM? I still have a floppy disk drive that can be booted from. I�m reviewing a �RH8 for Dummies� book for the Association of C & C++ Users (www.accu.org/terse/unix.htm) and would like to incorporate the fix because the book�s CDs insist that the PC boots from them.
THINKING ABOUT HARD DISKS � this might be something to go in one of your manuals.
In a hard disks Cylinder, Head and Sector mode� Is the first sector(C=0,H=0,S=0) the MBR (the Master Boot Record). Do cylinder usage skip cylinder 0 (as used by MBR) and start at the second cylinder (C=1,H=0,S=0) ? If they do then aren�t we wasting a load of sectors in cylinder 0?
