the grub directory containing stage* and *1_5 images should be under the
boot partition and the splash image

then specify root as the boot partition as thats where the kernel is
then tell the kernel where the real root is.

title   Linux 2.4.7-10 or whatever you want here
root (hd0,3)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.7-10 ro root=/dev/md0
initrd /initrd-2.4.7-10.img
splashimage /grub/splash.xpm.gz
