For example look at this working grub.conf entry:
Figure 3:
title Fedora (2.6.22.9-91.fc7)
root (hd0,5)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22.9-91.fc7 ro root=/dev/sda5 quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.22.9-91.fc7.img
From our work above we are not interested in the title but we want
to figure out what the root is. It says hd0,5 which means in words
hard drive 1, partition 6 which can be also written /dev/sda6.
Notice kernel and initrd and see they are just written as, for
example kernel /vmlinuz... This means the two files are in the root
directory.
no, they're not. but don't let that stop you from disseminating yet
more misinformation. it's what you do best, karl.

And you are so stupid you make these total wrong statements. Of
course the files are in the root or / directory since they are in
their own partition. Thanks for all your help rday. I could not get
anything done without it.
I just had to look, vmlinuz and initrd are NOT, I repeat NOT in the
root (or /) directory on my FC6 box.
Someone is wrong here Karl and I don't think it's rday...
You may not be using a new partition for your boot things but I do.
My main computer is at /dev/sda5 and the boot things are at /dev/sda6
and it looks like this:
config-2.6.22.4-65.fc7 lost+found
config-2.6.22.5-76.fc7 System.map-2.6.22.4-65.fc7
config-2.6.22.7-85.fc7 System.map-2.6.22.5-76.fc7
config-2.6.22.9-91.fc7 System.map-2.6.22.7-85.fc7
grub System.map-2.6.22.9-91.fc7
initrd-2.6.22.4-65.fc7.img vmlinuz-2.6.22.4-65.fc7
initrd-2.6.22.5-76.fc7.img vmlinuz-2.6.22.5-76.fc7
initrd-2.6.22.7-85.fc7.img vmlinuz-2.6.22.7-85.fc7
initrd-2.6.22.9-91.fc7.img vmlinuz-2.6.22.9-91.fc7
It sure looks to me like all vmiinuz are in the root directory.
