install=/boot/boot.b
vga=normal
default=linux
keytable=/boot/uk.klt
lba32
prompt
nowarn
timeout=100
message=/boot/message
menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/hda1
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="devfs=mount hdb=ide-scsi mem=nopentium"
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=failsafe
