use:

root (hd0,1)

kernel /SMP2.4.8HM ro root=/dev/hda3 (add any other kernel params you
need here)

boot

That should do it. If you built an initrd you'll have to do:

initrd /initrd.SMP2-blah-blah

between the kernel and the boot arguments.
Notice there is no /boot before the kernel or initrd name since they are
on /dev/hda2 (hd0,1) which we're using as the grub root.

Grub has tab-completion so that will help.
