	Not quite right; here's the content of /boot on the testbed 
machine : 

[root@localhost btth]# mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /TEST
[root@localhost btth]# cd /TEST
[root@localhost TEST]# ls

	Within that, it's CentOS that grub knows about -- but it does 
also know there's more : 

[root@localhost TEST]# cd grub
[root@localhost grub]# ls
