You took out the tail!

It should look like:

  $ cat /etc/grub.d/40_custom 
  #!/bin/sh
  exec tail -n +3 $0
  # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.  Simply type the
  # menu entries you want to add after this comment.  Be careful not to change
  # the 'exec tail' line above.
  menuentry "Install Debian via HTTP" {
      search --no-floppy --label --set=root noah03
      linux   /boot/vmlinuz priority=low
      initrd  /boot/initrd.gz
  }
  $ 

Cheers,
David.
