Fantastic. At boot time, I pressed `c' and got a grub command line. Then I
entered those commands, the same written in menu.lst: root...,
kernel... etcetera. And... after the `kernel' line and `enter', grub produced
the same error:
Error 2: Bad file or directory type
As I said, those settings are copied from Lenny's menu.lst. For a strange
reason they don't work from Etch, neither by hand.
