Last time around, with /mnt in the command line, I got back a message to
the effect that "/mnt is busy"; however, this time all is as it should be:

/mnt/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-5-386 /mnt/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-25-386
/mnt/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-10-386 /mnt/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-386
/mnt/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-9-386 /mnt/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-27-386
/mnt/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-23-386 /mnt/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-386

That collection can definitely be trimmed back to the latest few, but
now it ought to be possible to build a new menu.lst that works. This AM
it occurred to me that even if hda does refer to the CD drive -- when
there's a disk in it -- that should almost never interfere with booting.
Thanks for your patient help.
