Grub doesn't understand drive letters. Only DOS and Windows do. Is it a
Linux kernel? If so, you need to do a 'root (hd<drive number>,<partition
number>)', replacing <drive number> with the number of the drive, starting
from 0 (your boot drive should be 0), and <partition number> with the
number of the partition, starting from 0. Then specify 'kernel
/kernel.elf'.
