title           Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.[whatever-version-you-have]
root            (hd0,2)	 ## grub numbers hard drives starting 0, a=0, 3rd
				## partition is 2
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.[whatever-version-you-have] root=/dev/hda3 
ro quiet splash
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.[whatever-version-you-have]
savedefault
boot

Note this should be 6 lines starting with 
title
root
kernel
initrd
savedefault
boot
Any other line breaks were inserted by my mail program or yours.  My comments 
with double ## should not be entered.  I just wanted to let you know how it 
works.

Note that grub uses stuff with one # to rebuild grub after kernel updates and 
those lines should define a default file.  Actual comments have double ##.
