Bug Description

In the "Booting from Linux Using LILO or GRUB" section of the install guide (https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/installation-guide/i386/ch05s01.html#boot-initrd) if a user has followed the instructions given, the downloaded kernel is at /boot/newinstall/linux, but the example configurations for LILO and GRUB point to /boot/newinstall/vmlinuz. The bootloader then fails to boot the "New install" entry that has been added because the kernel it's trying to load is not there.
The filename in the example configs should be changed to /boot/newinstall/linux.
