Question #78969 on Ubuntu changed:

Tom proposed the following answer:
Oooo, that's so close :)))

The only difference is that for ubuntu we tend to use uuid numbers
rather than "root (hd0,1)" type addressing and also you put in the old
kernel numbers, which would work but the newer ones are better.  So
really just change

title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic (/dev/sda6)
    root (hd0,1)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=UUID=c7f9be9e-b539-42c4-9af2-f1cb1337a55d ro quiet splash
    initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic

to

title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-14-generic (/dev/sda6)
    uuid 91f00144-d242-4cdf-af3f-6c92e6ca3fa7
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-14-generic root=UUID=91f00144-d242-4cdf-af3f-6c92e6ca3fa7 ro quiet splash
    initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-14-generic

Which probably looks like a radical change but if you wanted to change
the uuid numbers to "root (hd0,1)" type addresses then you would get

title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-14-generic (/dev/sda6)
    root (hd0,5)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-14-generic root=/dev/sda6 ro quiet splash
    initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-14-generic

So i think you've totally got it but just a couple minor details slightly off :))  Fantastic, nicely done :))
Regards from
Tom :)
