Mostly it is. You'll want to get grub from woody or sid, though, as it
comes with a handy script ('grub-install') that's not available in the
potato version.
Once it's installed, consult the docs for info on how to write
/boot/grub/menu.lst. It's the file that defined the contents of the
graphical menu that you get at boot time. It's pretty simple. On one
of my machines, it looks like this:
***
timeout 10
title ant
kernel (hd0,2)/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3
***
The docs describe how to set it up.
