As a side note, the information about how to add the initrd26.img is incorrect in the documentation. I just updated my test machine and added the initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd26.img like the docs say and it gave me a file not found in grub. I fixed this by simply using initrd /initrd26.img in the menu.lst seeing that grub is already set to use hd(x.x) at the beginning of the file. Just a heads up... Thanks!!!
