Post what you have already?

If it helps, here's my menu.lst to boot two different Debian installations
on the same machine:

timeout 10
default 0

title Debian 2
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb1 vga=791
initrd /initrd.img

title Debian 1
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz vga=791
initrd /initrd.img

Grub is installed into and managed by "Debian 1" but I'm using "Debian 2"
more often than not these days so it's the default. It's only above "Debian
1" because I wanted it to be the first item in the menu. I've omitted the
remaining entries for "Rescue" and a couple of other options to keep things
simple.
