I think the extra "root (hdx,y)" is unnecessary here because you're
overriding it on the next line. Here's what my setup looks like.
/dev/hdb1 is a boot partition. /dev/hdb5 and /dev/hdb6 have two lfs
systems, respectively. For some reason, I've put the kernels for
/dev/hdb5 in that partition in the /boot directory. For /dev/hdb6,
the kernels are in /dev/hdb1, which is mounted at /boot. Here's what
menu.lst looks like for me.
# LFS SVN entry
title LFS 20051005 (2.6.14.7-1)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /kernel/kernel-2.6.14.7-1 root=/dev/hdb6 vga=789
# LFS Alphabetical
title LFS Alpha 20060307 (2.6.12.5-2)

The first one (referring to the system at /dev/hdb6) has the kernels
physically in the /dev/hdb1 partition. So, when grub changes into
/dev/hdb1 with the root (hd1,0) command, the kernels are found
relative to that partition. In that case /boot is not needed since
there isn't actually a directory called /boot on /dev/hdb1.
