I'm a wee bit concerned (being an old lilo guy and not very familiar with grub yet) that in fact all those references to /boot/initrd.* and /boot/vmlinuz* really are loading the same instances from the initial install, and that I'd be in trouble when the installs are not both the same linux distribution and version.

Read my grub.conf, carefully.

Notice, in particular, the NOTICE at the top:

# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg. # root (hd0,0)

Now, further notice that the "root(hd?,?) entries throughout the grub.conf file are all pointing to different places.
