You haven't changed a bit from the old days, have you Robert.  I killfiled you 
once in rpm-list years ago for much the same stridor.

If grub.conf's use of /vmlinuz-2.6.22.9-91.fc7 and /initrd-2.6.22.9-91.fc7.img 
isn't placing two files in the 'root directory' then what is it doing?  If 
you do a chroot() system call to /boot in a running F7, what files are in the 
root directory?  If you dump the context of nash (or the kernel prior to 
loading init) in a booting F7 system, where is the 'root directory'?
