On SuSE 9.2 (the latest)  the grub.conf file is in /etc    and the menu.lst is 
in  /boot/grub.   No symlinks for either.   And the grub.conf file contains 
only install information.   This is the only way I have ever seen grub setup, 
starting with its first use by Caldera.

Obviously each distro can set it up as they please.....
