/boot/grub/grub.conf does not exist in openSUSE. That file is an abortion of the old upstream Grub v1 - - - ..., which was designed for compatibility with FAT 8.3 filenames.
/boot/grub/menu.lst is the file to edit, either by you or YaST. So it says in many places and how-to's. But in the boot.readme file on my SuSE, that talks about several different boot loaders, it talks about
/boot/grub/menu.lst
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg
I DO NOT have
/boot/grub/menu.lst,
I HAVE
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Notice that it is grub2 in the path, not "/boot/grub/grub.conf" as you said first. This is peculiar to openSUSE, because we still have support for both grub 1 and 2.
I can attach it if necessary, but /that/ is what is configuring my boot process, as far as I can tell given my lack of skills w/ grub.
No, don't touch that file, it is created automatically and your changes destroyed. You change instead "/etc/default/grub", and run certain command to apply changes, that is documented inside that file.
Everything in this file (etc/default/grub) refers to making changes in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. There is no /boot/grub/menu.lst on my SuSE installation. I'll study it anyway, but my preference is to 1. fix the MBR of Windows and 2. insert a LILO.conf file that has worked for 10 years.
I repeat, there is no file /boot/grub/menu.lst.
It belongs to grub 1.
There is no /boot/grub1 directory on this SuSE 13.1 install. There is /boot/grub and boot/grub2. The file /boot/grub/menu.lst does not exist on this installation.
