Taking your prior example:
title Fedora (2.6.22.4-65.fc7)
root (hd0,5)
This "root" command sets the root environment for GRUB, usually where
your kernels are, and usually there's a grub sub-directory in it.
kernel vmlinuz-2.6.22.4-65.fc7 ro root=/dev/sda5
initrd initrd-2.6.22.4-65.fc7.img
The kernel and initrd lines have the filepaths for the kernel and initrd
files, relative to GRUB's root (hd0,5). If they're directly inside it,
they're in its root, so /vmlinuz... and /initrd... would be correct.
The root= parameter on the kernel line is for the system root, what you
see as / in the operating system, which is usually different.
