Indeed; Here's the relevant snippet from my existing menu.lst:
title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.17-11-generic
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-11-generic root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet
splash vga=786
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-11-generic
That would imply a GRUB designation for the boot partition of the IDE
drive of (hd1,0)?

That should be it. Getting the drive's parameters right when editing
fstab is going to be my big challenge.
