On my RH 9 box the actual grub config file is /boot/grub/grub.conf and
there are *2* symlinks pointing to it:
/boot/grub/menu.lst
/etc/grub.conf

I didn't add these myself.

I actually like this RedHat-ism.  I think they changed it to make it
more intuitive and because of the symlinks, did it without breaking
anything or making it unusable to a person who is accustomed to the
default layout.
