so that is working...
The menu.lst is strange....but I tried changing root (hd1,4) to root(hd0,4)
or root(hd0,msdos5) which actually gets the machine to boot from the grub
prompt, and it does not boot. And for some reason /initrd.img-2.6.26-1-686
is broken; unreadable, at least from the grub prompt. I can only boot from
2.6.21.
Thanks for you help!
