	Here is a snippit of the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file on karmic:

  3-35245eb5fb2a ro single
	initrd	/boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-11-generic
}
### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###

### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ###
menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+)" {
	linux16	/boot/memtest86+.bin
}
menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)" {
	linux16	/boot/memtest86+.bin console=ttyS0,115200n8
}
### END /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ###

### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
menuentry "Microsoft Windows XP Professional (on /dev/sda1)" {
	insmod ntfs
	set root=(hd0,1)
	search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 7428ef7928ef392e
	drivemap -s (hd0) ${root}
	chainloader +1
}


	Notice the ### instead of #, and the { and } which set off 
the actual chore grub does from the words that tell us what it 
is doing.

	This makes writing by hand an entry a chore.
