You don't use a menu.lst file any more. You can edit the custom_40 file, and that will add items into the grub.cfg file. Also, I used: grub-set-default 4 to make the boot option the 5th item in the list, but it did not work for me. So I have to say that the new grub is difficult to use.

I really couldn't hardly figure out how to use the new environment. One example right off the top is there is no menu.lst included. I dunno if that gets generated down line via configuration and setups or what. I don't think the docs had descriptions for many of the binaries that come with grub2 either. My only grub experience so far is mainly updating menu.lst and when I used to be on debian, I got a little familiar with the grub config files in /etc but other than that, I really don't know much of what I'm doing in grub if I had to build the menu.lst from scratch and ensure I can still boot my computer into either platform.
