I would like to use GRUB as my boot loader, to choose from 2 or more Linux distros.  I can't figure out the syntax to boot a HD install of DSL8.2.  Essentially you need to define the root partition, the kernel source and the initrd source.  There doesn't seem to be an initrd file like one would have in Fedora, Mepis or Mandrake (blah_blah.img).
 The extensive example elsewhere in this forum references an initrd source ending in .gz.  I can't find this in my HD installation.

Can anyone suggest the correct lines for a DSL block in GRUB?
/dev/hda
/dev/hda1 / (Fedora)
/dev/hda2 /boot (Fedora)
/dev/hda3 swap
/dev/hda4 DSL8.2

TIA
