Okay, the grub-shell uses 'root' to tell grub on which partition to find 
it's stage-files...

Then in /boot/grub/menu.lst, the term is used first to tell grub on 
which partition to find the kernel, then again on the kernel-line to 
define the partition on which the linux-filesystem is rooted (at '/' aka 
'root')...

All of which must be done as the root-user...

Is that five or only four? I hope i wasn't exaggerating & slandering 
grub's good name.

Apologies if the above expansion is confusing - then again, that's kinda 
the point, innit? :)
