+HOWTO: Boot an existing install
+
+Select "More Options" from the main menu.
+Move the cursor to "[EDIT ME] Boot an existing linux install"
+Press "e"
+
+At this point you will see the following:
+ root (hd0,0)
+ kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/hda3 ro
+ initrd /kernel26.img
+
+This needs to be changed to accomodate your hardware.
+
+The first line should be changed to indicate where your boot medium resides.
+ "(hd0,0)" is the first partition on the first hard drive (hda1) - change these
+ numbers to indicate the partition containing your /boot directory.
+
+The second line should be changed to point to your kernel. If the line above
+points to a partition _only_ containing /boot, then /vmlinuz26 is fine.
+Otherwise, change this to /boot/vmlinuz. root= should be changed to match the
+partition for your root filesystem. Other kernel parameters can be added here.
