my grub bootloader notes

Grub died on me. Fun.

(actually, don't blame grub, I added a partition, thus invalidating my grub settings)

So, some things that may help others:

If grub works when manually specifying the configfile /grub/menu.lst from the grub command line, re-setup grub:

grub
> root (hd0,5)
> setup (hd0)
quit

Knoppix or another linux boot CD is your friend.
Edit menu.lst to make it all match the new partition numbers. From the grub command line, try "root (hd0,x)" to figure out which partition is which.
