The appliance is supposed to be a headless unit with only ethernet cables attached and power of course.

To load the CD and application I have a keyboard kit, CD rom drive and a video card attached.
The /boot/grub/menu.lst file is really a pointer to the /boot/grub/grub.conf file. They are identical. Here is my current file.
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda1
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
# default=0
serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 --parity=no --stop=1
terminal serial console
# splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-18.7.x ro root=/dev/hda1 console=ttys0
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.18-18.7.x.img
boot=dev/hda1
This unfortunately still requires me to attach a serial console and respond to the boot process. Here is the serial console output.

[H Booting 'Enable-IT Gateway (4.0)'

Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83

My goal in this is to have a self booting loader with nothing attached except power and the 3 ehternet cables. It can be done, it is just a matter of fixing GRUB I believe.
