initrd /image.gz

You are booting from hda1 - let's modify the example:

# (example for type 1 install)
title Puppy
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/ram PFILE=pup1-none-131072 PHOME=hda1
initrd /image.gz

----------

Note: In this example the following three files need to be on the root (C:\)

* vmlinuz
* image.gz
* usr_cram.fs

---------

What else? I think it best to not load drivers or anything like that, make a clean DOS boot.

Questions if you think they apply:

What FAT type?
How much free space?
How much RAM?
How are you running grub.exe?
