Copy your /grub.conf file to /boot/grub/menu.lst (that's the letter L, not
the number 1).

I found good grub information at:
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=4622

and documentation at:
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/

I've really grown attached to grub and other than a few gotchas trying to
get Linux and FreeBSD to cooperate on the same drive, it's been very easy
and flexible to configure.
