Here's my /etc/grub.conf  (SuSE 9.2)

root (hd0,6)
install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 /grub/stage1 (hd0) /grub/stage2 0x8000 
(hd0,6)/grub/menu.lst
quit

which installs grub on SuSE.   Now I guess it is possible that RH has 
perverted the install process so that instead of menu.lst being specified on 
the install line, it points to grub.conf.   Have never ever seen that type of 
setup.
