It will work, provided you call the file menu.lst, because the GRUB FAT
driver can only handle 8.3 filenames. The same applies when using GRUB on
a CD, it can't read grub.conf because it's not an ISO 9660 Level 1 name,
but it works fine with menu.lst.

So, in a way, grub.conf is a Linux file, because it needs to be on a
Linux filesystem for GRUB to read it :-/
