Sorry I didn't include the fact that update-grub was one of the first 
things I tried.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I said before that I had made *some* progress. I took a good look at the 
9.04 stanzas I had added to menu.lst and noticed there was no "root" 
line specifying "(hd0,x). I added it and found *one* value of x that 
initiated the boot process. My elation was short lived when it hung on 
(initramfs)_. One source I found said it might be that the root 
partition wasn't found. Not sure if that's the case here. Any other 
possibilities?
