Well, there is an existing ext3 filesystem there which pv-grub can
read from, so I can just tell it to boot the kernel by changing grub's
configuration.  I'm getting rid of that filesystem with the installer
and breaking it.  The problem is, put bluntly, that I don't know
exactly what I'm doing, heh.

The original setup does not use any sort of partition table; it's just
an ext3 filesystem.  Basically, what I need to know is how to give
pv-grub whatever environment it wants so it's happy and will read a
configuration file and boot my installation.

Thanks for your help,
