Grub is hard to make work

    I thought I had been successful in moving my /boot to another 
partition but learned it is grub that is not working right. First it 
doesn't find the color  and second it can't find the kernel. Here is 
what grub.conf looks like now:

 [root at k5di grub]# more grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You do not have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
#          root (hd0,4)
#          kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda5
#          initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,5)grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora (2.6.22.5-76.fc7)
        root (hd0,5)
        kernel vmlinuz-2.6.22.5-76.fc7 ro root=/dev/sda5
        initrd initrd-2.6.22.5-76.fc7.img
title Fedora (2.6.22.4-65.fc7)
        root (hd0,5)
        kernel vmlinuz-2.6.22.4-65.fc7 ro root=/dev/sda5
        initrd initrd-2.6.22.4-65.fc7.img


This does not find the image or boot the kernel. What have I done wrong? 
In the VERY Poor info grub it appears the want a / in front of the 
kernel and initrd. But for the setup I have that is wrong.
