My laptop's (HP Pavilion zv6015) grub.conf:

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,2)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda6
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda3
default=0
timeout=9
splashimage=(hd0,2)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.6.13-1.1526_FC4)
        root (hd0,2)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb 
no_timer_check=0
        initrd /initrd-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4.img
title Fedora Core (2.6.12-1.1456_FC4)
        root (hd0,2)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1456_FC4 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb 
no_timer_check=0
        initrd /initrd-2.6.12-1.1456_FC4.img
title Windoze XP
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        chainloader +1

I keep Windoze on it since that seems the only way to get BIOS updates.

Cheers,
Dave
