Peter,

What type of filesystem is on your hard drive?  If it's ext2, GRUB should recognize the
filesystem -- if you just type "kernel (hd0,0)/" and then hit TAB, the auto-completion
feature should give you a list of possibilities.

If the hard drive you are trying to boot from has a filesystem other than ext2, you would
need to rebuild GRUB to support it -- the "./configure" script used in the instructions
explicitly disabled all other types of filesystems.
