1 Dale, you didn't describe the symptoms you're seeing, but maybe
2 just seeing how I did it will help:
3
4 menuentry "memtest86" {
5 search -l gentoo64unstable -s root
6 linux ($root)/boot/memtest86/memtest
7 boot
8 }
9
10 Note that gentoo64unstable is the label I gave my root partition.
11 I do that in case I hot-plug a disk that changes the /dev/name of
12 the partition. That's the reason I switched to grub2 originally.
13 (You can search instead for the UUID if you prefer to use that.)
