GEEXBOX/etc/grub/grub.conf looks as follows :
title _TITLE_
root _ROOTDEV_
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 rw rdinit=linuxrc boot=_DEVNAME_ lang=en
remote=default_remote receiver=default_receiver keymap=qwerty splash=silent
vga=789 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr _HDTV_ _DEBUG_ _CONFIG_
initrd /initrd.gz
boot
