aha, indeed.
that looks like a job for lilo, the linux loader. it reads a file
/etc/lilo.conf which contains various setup directives like that.
there's a "liloconfig" program that may help or hinder, depending on
what you need to tweak.
check
man lilo
man lilo.conf
man lilo.config
of course, i could be wrong. :)

to get my debian going for about three weeks too... but i think
i'm finally there!)
