Lost DOC2000 after installation of Grub

Chris,

It seems that you might need the /boot/grub/menu.lst file to enable 
automatic boot process.  There is GRUB documentation at

    http://www.gnu.org/manual/grub-0.90/html_mono/grub.html

According to your lilo.conf, you have the kernel and initrd.gz in the
/boot/ directory of a filesystem formatted on top of /dev/nftla.

This means you may need the menu.lst included below.  Long lines might get
wrapped by email agents.

I didn't try initrd ramdisks with GRUB myself, so that configuration is
not tested.  

Your GRUB bootloader must understand the filesystem which you installed on 
top of /dev/nftla block device layer.

It seems that no DoC drivers are strictly required when using initrd.  
The initial ramdisk gets loaded by the boot loader.  

The kernel parameter initrd is not processed by the kernel.  This
parameter is to inform bootloaders.  See kernel's

    Documentation/i386/boot.txt

The ramdisk_image and ramdisk_size parameters are to be added to the
kernel command line by the bootloader automatically.  See also

    Documentation/initrd.txt
