How do I add Arch to my existing bootloader?

I am not really a newbie but this feels as a newbie question so I think this  the right thread  wink On with the question: how do I add Arch Linux to my existing grub.conf?

Just look in the wiki at http://wiki.archlinux.org for a sample menu.lst, alter it a bit and add it to your existing menu.lst :-)

Re: How do I add Arch to my existing bootloader?

Thanks for the tip, this helped me a lot! I added this line to my menu.lst (Arch is at hda4).Unfortunatly Arch still doesn't boot (I get a kernel panick). How should I proceed? here the Arch line in menu.lst

# Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root   (hd0,3)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/hda4

You need to add an initrd line:

initrd /boot/initrd26.img
