According to my grub docs you can add boot parameters to the
/boot/grub/menu.lst just by entering the parameter itself without the
append equals. For example to boot with the aha152x module, edit the
menu.lst and add aha152x=0x340,7,1,1,0 to the kernel boot line and save
the changes.
So apparently you don't need the "append="
Be sure to specify the partition in the manner that grub addresses these
matters:
Disks are specified as (hdN) where N is the number of the disk starting
at 0. Your first disk is (hd0). In general, N matches BIOS device 0x8N
(0x80, 0x81,...).
/boot/grub/device.map reflects the assumed mapping to Linux devices and
can be tuned by hand if necessary.
Please note also that grub does not distinguish between ide and scsi
harddrives. It uses the same syntax for both types of drives. The
listing below compares the /dev/hd? designation used in lilo to the
(hdN) used in Grub:
/dev/hda = hd0
/dev/hdb = hd1
/dev/hdc = hd2
/dev/fd0 = fd0
Partitions are specified with (hdN,Y) where 'N' is the (N+1)th harddisk
and Y is the partition starting with 0. The first partition on the first
disk is specified
by (hd0,0).
/dev/hda1 = (hd0,0)
/dev/hda2 = (hd0,1)
/dev/hdb1 = (hd1,0)
/dev/hdb2 = (hd1,1)
HTH,
