Thanks for writing.
I still haven't figured out why the menu interface doesn't kick in
automagically. What you said about menu.lst is true. It's typically
a softlink to grub.conf, though, as is the case with my system.
Note that, once my system boots to the grub> prompt, I can load the
menu interface by calling "configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst."
Here's my /boot/grub directory and grub.conf file for your reference.
Anything look awry here?
