I'm not on my Debian partition as yet (but can be if requried), though
this is how Grub makes my workaday Ubuntu start, if that's any help:
title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.10-5-k7
root (hd0,11)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-5-k7 root=/dev/hda12 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.10-5-k7
savedefault
boot
Tip for the uninitiated: use Ext3 filesystem to avoid potential
problems, _especially_ on sensitive laptops. Reiser is so clever it
can get (seemingly) intractably entangled in 'fault'-mode. Not necessary.

Yes, I have had some probelms with reiser. By now everything is working
and I don't want to change. I also see my laptop more as a portable
desktop. It is running 7/24 and it is only a laptop because anything
else wold have been extremely expensive to get here from Germany.
Happy Hacking,
