Thanks James - that solved it.

I found that the /boot in /etc/fstab was commented out, but I checked in
cfdisk and I definitely did have a boot partition. I uncommented the
line and mounted it and then edited the menu.lst file on that partition.
It then worked first time! :-)

Thanks for the help everyone,

Robin
