(/boot). This should allow it to work in both the normal case (for those who follow the instructions) and for the case for users (like myself) that selectively ignore the instructions and don't use a /boot partition, but blindly type in the menu.lst from the instructions. ;-) Maybe you didn't have /boot mounted at some point (say during the untaring stage) and the link didn't get created?
