The magic  of GRUB  is that it  understands filesystems and  kernel exec
formats. Unlike  LILO, the kernel  loader; in GRUB  you can load  any OS
without  recording the  physical position  of the  kernel onto  the hard
disk.

You have  mistaken things, there is  no such thing as  a grub.conf file.
Instead you  have this file  /boot/grub/menu.lst, wherein you  make your
changes. After  you make changes into  menu.lst, it is  good practice to
update or rather embed your MBR with the GRUB signature.  This embedding
is done via the 'install or 'setup' commands at the GRUB prompt.

Please do go thru the info docs  of Grub, it is quite exhaustive and can
help you better.  Have fun grubbing....
