Seems correct, but you explain it a little confusing.
I hope the example clears some things
my grub:
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,0)
#kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 init=/sbin/bootchartd ro vga=865
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro vga=865
initrd /kernel26.img
my 'df -h':
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 15G 8.7G 5.4G 62% /
none 1001M 208K 1001M 1% /dev
none 1001M 12K 1001M 1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1 38M 5.9M 31M 17% /boot
/dev/sda4 94G 73G 16G 83% /home
(ps: Hi everybody, I'm new on the list, this is my first post)
