You forgot to say that you can find the paths using command line completion:

root (hd[TAB] 
  possible partitions are:
    hd0
    hd1
    ...

kernel /boot/[TAB]
  System.map-2.2.17          chain.b                mbr.b
  vmlinuz-2.2.17             boot.b 

You can do that even on a fat partition!

This has been a really useful feature for me. I do not allways
remember the name of my old kernel files...
