Trying to use Grub

[Dieter Stuebinger]

Please help me:
I´ve got a hard disk 40 Gbyte, Windows Me installed and I´ve partitioned for 
Linux which now ist starting only by floppy.
checking the harddisk by fdisk /dev/hda in SuSE.linux I get folowing 
information:
/dev/hda1 *  FAT32  Id c  LBA
/dev/hda2    FAT32 Extd  Id f LBA
/dev/hda5    FAT32  Id b
/dev/hda6    FAT32  Id b
/dev/hda7    FAT16  Id 6
/dev/hda8    Linux  Id 83
/dev/hda9    Linux swap  Id 82
/dev/hda10  Linux  Id 83
Trying to use GRUB 0.5.96.1-i386-pc I`ve started from floppy grub> rootnoverify 
(hd0,0)  -- grub>makeactive  --- grub>chainloader +1  ---grub>boot  and hurrah 
the windows Me configuration was started.
But trying to find boot configuration for Linux I´m driving to despair. 
I used the `find` command grub>find /vmlinuz and got the answer hd0,7.
trying to load grub>kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda? I used any number from 1 to 
10 but got always answer "cannot mount the partition".
What am I doing wrong? Which way can I understand the explanations as a simple 
medical doctor.
Please understand my plaeding for help.
I`m looking forward getting help from your organisation.
Thanks
