Well I am searching for grub.conf now. It doesn't seem to exist. Instead I edited /boot/grub/menu.lst. BTW the accretion description doesn't hold water. I got three entries for one Slack partition on a brand new install. Different kernels were specified. The last one was correct. If I could figure out how to boot a Debian partition from Lilo I would say goodbye and good riddance to Grub. But I keep getting kernel panics.
