Make sure you have a gfxboot-branding package installed (so you have a 
/boot/message file, and make sure your menu.lst file has a line

gfxmenu (hd0,0)/boot/message

change according to your actual partitioning scheme, of course, and if you 
have a root (hd0,0) in there, you won't need to duplicate it in the gfxmenu 
command, so the above could also be

root (hd0,0)
gfxmenu /boot/message
