The grub menu entry is titled
	"Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-5-486"


If that's relevant, this is the complete menu config for that
boot entry:

  insmod part_msdos
  insmod ext2
  set root='(hd0,msdos1)'
  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 9e863f51-5067-470a-d85345d98db6
  echo 'Loading Linux 2.6.32-5-486 ...'
  linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-486 root=/dev/hda1 ro all_generic_ide quiet
  echo 'Loading initial ramdisk  ...'
  initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-486
