splashimage=(hd0.0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz should be
    splashimage=(hd0.0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

root (hd0.0) should be
    root (hd0,0)

i.e. period should be a comma in both lines

sample in the documentation suggests to me:

        boot knoppix, mount hard drive root partion and read the directory:
             /kernel-2.6.13-r3 should be listed if not some other kernel 
should be listed in the directory and should be
             substituted for /kernel-2.6.13-r3 in the kernel line

kernel /genkernel--x86_64-2.6.13-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/ram0  init=/linuxrc 
should be
    kernel /kernel-2.6.13-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc 
ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda3 udev


 initrd /initrd' should be         (Maybe --didn't use genkernel and don't 
know it but if it copies kernel direct from cd to ramdisk this:)
    initrd /initramfs-genkernel-amd64-2.6.12-gentoo-r6
                                            (or Maybe --didn't use genkernel 
and don't know it but if it doesn't copy kernel direct from cd this:)
    initrd /initramfs-genkernel-amd64-2.6.13-gentoo-r3
