Grub, by default, looks for "menu.lst" to build it's boot menu. The redhat
installed version gets a "grub.conf" but no menu.lst.

Following the "quick setup" instructions in the grub docs, one expects that
just modifying grub.conf, and the running this :

grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)

will get you you modified menu on boot. however, all you get in this case
is the grub command line. Ewww.

Simple fixes :
(a) actually use menu.lst
(b) symlink grub.conf to menu.lst
(c) change grub default behavior
(d) document this *REALLY WELL*

I'd prefer both (a) and (d), since most upgrade users will read the info
pages before reading the RH manuals (sorry, beth & sandra). Also, prior
experience with lilo on RH systems will lead them to beleive that the
default configs are all correct, and there's no extra setup needed to get
the right menu options.

Worst case, the admin copies grub.conf to menu.lst, modifies menu.lst,and
when s/he upgardes their kernel, gets the updated grub.conf as their
bootloader. Much swearing at tech support will ensue.
