That's it! I was expecting that /boot/vmlinuz would get resolved
at boot time and would be relative to the root=/dev/hdaX entries.

With this piece of the puzzle, and all the other suggestions people
have given me, I should be able to get it working.

Since I'm pretty close to having lilo figured out, I'll stick with 
it for now and try grub some other time.

Thanks,
Dexter
