In the web-page supplied (which is VERY good, by the way) it says:
Finally to enable your Linux installer in GRUB's menu, edit the file
F:\boot\grub\menu.lst adding a paragraph similar to this one:

title My Linux installer of choice
kernel   (hd0,0)/boot/your_linux_kernel_filename   distribution_specific_options
initrd   (hd0,0)/boot/your_ramdisk_filename

and the contents of the isolinux.cfg file are:

default linux
prompt 1
timeout 600
display boot.msg
F1 boot.msg
F2 options.msg
F3 general.msg
F4 param.msg
F5 rescue.msg
label linux
  kernel vmlinuz
  append initrd=initrd.img
label text
  kernel vmlinuz
  append initrd=initrd.img text
label ks
  kernel vmlinuz
  append ks initrd=initrd.img
label local
  localboot 1
label memtest86
  kernel memtest
  append -


So, according to that, what should the distro specific options look like?

title My Linux installer of choice
kernel   (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz      what_do_i_write_here?
initrd   (hd0,0)/boot/initrd.img
