I gave up using grub for this, and used (groan) lilo. My /etc/fstab
looks like this:
/dev/ataraid/disc0/part1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/ataraid/disc0/part3 / ext3 noatime 1 1
/dev/ataraid/disc0/part2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/ataraid/disc0/part5 /usr ext3 noatime 1 1
/dev/ataraid/disc0/part6 /var ext3 noatime 1 2
/dev/ataraid/disc0/part7 /usr/local ext3 noatime 1 2
/dev/ataraid/disc0/part8 /opt ext3 noatime 1 2
/dev/ataraid/disc0/part9 /home ext3 noatime 1 2
And my /etc/lilo.conf looks like this:
menu-scheme=Wb
prompt
timeout = 50
lba32
boot=/dev/ataraid/disc0/disc
disk = /dev/ataraid/disc0/disc
bios = 0x80
map = /boot/System.map
delay = 50
vga = normal # Normal VGA console
# End LILO global section
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/ataraid/disc0/part3
append = "idebus=66, ide0=ata66"
label = Gentoo
read-only # read-only for checking
image = /boot/vmlinuz.old
root = /dev/ataraid/disc0/part3
label = Old.kernel
read-only # read-only for checking
I hope this helps. If you find a way to make grub work, please let me
know, as I would much prefer to be using grub.
Cheers,
Dennis

Voice or no voice the people can always be brought to the bidding of the
leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being
attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the
country to danger. It works the same in any country.
