Writing your own menu.lst is easy; just do it manually. Unliked grub2, |
| 16 |
grub1 (for want of a better name) does not "scan" your system and try to |
| 17 |
write a menu.lst the way grub2 writes a grub.cfg. So don't install |
| 18 |
grub1 (and thus overwrite grub2's boot sector code) in the hopes that |
| 19 |
you'll get some magic script to write your menu.lst for you. |

I'm not sure why you are finding it hard to find resources. I really |
| 22 |
can't help you more because I don't know your setup. Obviously if you |
| 23 |
are booting some kernel in your virtual machine using grub1 you already |
| 24 |
have a menu.lst. Can you use it as a model? |
