I have a bit more information. Say I have the Alpha 1 all in
/media/data/opensuse/DVD_10.1_A1
That means that linux and initard are:
/media/data/opensuse/DVD_10.1_A1/boot/loader/linux
/media/data/opensuse/DVD_10.1_A1/boot/loader/initrd

Now /media/data is /dev/hdf3, so I must enter the following in grub:

title DVD_10.1_A1
root # Later
kernel /opensuse/DVD_10.1_A1/boot/loader/linux
initrd /opensuse/DVD_10.1_A1/boot/loader/initrd

Now I still need to know what root is. I can do this by counting. I can
also do this by lauching `grub` as root and enter:
grub> find /opensuse/DVD_10.1_A1/boot/loader/linux

This gives me :
 (hd3,2)

Any way I could do this without entering grub?
