Mine is for a frugal install to hard drive, and not a full hard drive install.

Have you tried the options in the docs?
They describe how-to use grub with a full hdinstall.

Here is another one I use on my frugal install at home..

title DSL
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/isolinux/linux24 root=/dev/hda2 quiet vga=791 dma toram fromhd=/dev/hda2 mydsl=hdd4 restore=hdd4 home=hdd4 opt=hdd4 host=xxxx secure
initrd /boot/isolinux/minirt24.gz

initrd (hd0,3)/boot/isolinux/minirt24.gz

title DSL-XFree86
kernel (hd0,3)/boot/isolinux/linux24 root=/dev/hda4 dsl restore=hda1 noicons base vga=791 dma
initrd (hd0,3)/boot/isolinux/minirt24.gz

title DSL-clean

What version of grub is that..?

Seems some of the newer ones have a littel different syntax.
Notice mine has no (hd0,3) in front of the kernel or initrd.
Only the root line..

You can do it either way.

But it's shorter/easier to declare root (hdX,Y)
