Trying to make the switch from lilo to grub and having some difficulties. Here is my setup:

I have three partitions;
sda1 - Fedora Core
sda2 - Swap
sda3 - ext2 for poor man's knoppix boot

I am trying to boot a "tohd" live CD install, but I keep getting dropped to a limited shell. I can boot using the CD itself. Any help is greatly appreciated. Even if someone could just post their menu.lst from a similar config, I should be albe to figure it out.

Here is my menu.lst (all files referred to by KNOPPIX are installed)

#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
