... well yeah, that wont work. You need to close the brackets and specify a kernel and an initrd line. Oh, and the <partition number> should be an actual integer. These entries need to be in /boot/grub/menu.lst

It is usually helpful to post the actual file used instead of summarizing. And, where did you install GRUB to?
