help changing from lilo to grub

[Neil Watson]

I've started training myself in Xen.  So far I've discovered that my
boot loader, Lilo, does not appear to like the Xen kernel.  I decided to
switch to Grub.  Grub and I have some baggage together and we still have
conflict.  I tried to setup grub and install it to the MBR.  Grub would
launch at boot but claim that it could not find the file system.
Perhaps some here can help me out:

#LILO.CONF
menu-scheme=Wb
boot = /dev/hdb
prompt
map = /boot/System.map
lba32
timeout=150
delay = 50
vga = normal	# Normal VGA console                               
default = sedebian

# End LILO global section
# Linux bootable partition config begins

	image = /boot/vmlinuz
	append = " selinux=1"
	initrd = /boot/initrd.img
	root = /dev/hdb1
	label = sedebian
	read-only

I ran 'grub-install hd1' and no errors were reported.  The directory
/boot/grub contains:
