I haven't viewed that page due to the fact that I read this and wanted
to respond real quick before going off to do other things... however,
the grub part isn't too much different.

This is from Redhat 8.0:
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-28.8)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-28.8 ro root=LABEL=/
        initrd /initrd-2.4.20-28.8.img

You would change "root (hd0,0)" to whatever your root partition is.
The first 0 reflects which harddrive it is (0 = C or HDA, 1 = D or
HDB, etc), and the second 0 reflects which partition on the drive it
is. (0 = hdX1, 1 = hdX2, etc)
Then, change kernel to reflect where under /boot the kernel is. (you
will have to put the kernel there)  My kernel line usually looks like
"kernel /vmlinuz-<version> root=/dev/hda2".
Initrd I never use, but that's me.

It sounds like your using debian, so this will definitely be right up
your alley: http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_debian

If your interested in how to do it in Fedora, SuSE, Mandr{ake|iva},
CentOS, or Ubuntu, they have links at the bottom for those, also.
(wow, did I use enough commas?)
