Yes, on Fedora the grub configuration file is /boot/grub/grub.conf. The
file you mention is symlinked there.

One option is to edit the file, make a copy of the "fedora" section, and
edit to fit. Something like
title Fedora Core (2.6.10-ac11-howells-1)
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-ac11-howells-1 ro root=/dev/hda6 acpi=force
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.10-ac11-howells-1.img
(You have built an initrd, haven't you?)
But a better option is simply
make
make modules_install
make install
which will build the initrd and modify grub for you.
Hope this helps,
James.
