Of course I did.  I copied the Lenny entry from Lenny's menu.lst:

title		Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-1-686
root		(hd0,9)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686 root=/dev/hda10 ro quiet
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-686
savedefault
boot

title		Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-1-686 (single-user mode)
root		(hd0,9)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686 root=/dev/hda10 ro single
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-686
savedefault
boot

So it's really ununderstandable why it does not manage to boot into Lenny.  I
always booted from Sarge into Etch.
