grub on potato



Greetings,

Installed Debian potato last night when blind drunk -
is this a record? Lilo ignores dos on first partion
but I can boot it with a grub floppy. However cannot
get grub to boot debian - it says kernel panic it
can't find init.

Someone couldn't post menu.lst for potato, or
something, could they? Much appreciated.

At grub prompt I did:

root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-somethingorother root=/dev/hda1
(wanted to do: initrd /boot/initrd.img but it doesn't
seem to exist)
boot

Thanks for any help.
