problems with fstab and grub :<

hi
i'm new in arch.
i've got a small experiance with ubuntu :P
so, i've installed both distributions on my laptop
first i've installed arch, after that i've installed ubuntu alternate cd.
but ad rem:
i've got a saperate /boot partition for arch (its sda2) and one for / (sda5).
under ubuntu i use sda6 for / and sda7 for /home

my arch's grub have been overwritten: i do not really wanna to have it back, i can stay with my ubuntu's grub.
but ubuntu doesn't saw arch's kernel and i cannot boot into arch.

this is my menu.lst :

## ## End Default Options ##

title        Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-15-generic
root        (hd0,5)
kernel        /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-15-generic root=UUID=985f1df6-66ee-452a-bcd1-a65055760dfa ro quiet splash
initrd        /boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-15-generic
quiet
savedefault

title        Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-15-generic (recovery mode)
root        (hd0,5)
kernel        /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-15-generic root=UUID=985f1df6-66ee-452a-bcd1-a65055760dfa ro single
initrd        /boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-15-generic

title        Arch
root        (hd0,5)
kernel        /mnt/arch/boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda5 ro
initrd        /mnt/arch/boot/kernel26.img

title        Ubuntu, memtest86+
root        (hd0,5)
kernel        /boot/memtest86+.bin
quiet

but when i choose the 'arch' during boot i get en error 15 : no file

this are results of mount

szymon@linugrat:~$ mount
/dev/sda6 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
/sys on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=0755)
varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777)
procbususb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
devshm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
lrm on /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/volatile type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/sda7 on /home type xfs (rw)
/dev/sda2 on /mnt/arch/boot type ext3 (rw,noatime)
/dev/sda5 on /mnt/arch/glowna type xfs (rw,noatime)

how can i make my grub working properly? sorry if its a stupid question, but i not really can find an answer (probably i'm looking incorectly :/)

and my second problem :
i cannot freely write into arch's partitions.
what should i add into my fstab, to write/read as a not-superuser onto this partitions?
