RE: Which device did I boot from?

Not necessarily. It could be /dev/sda. 

There should be a devices.map file where your menu.st file is. That will tell 
you which device is (hd0).

Hello!
Ideally we'd need to know which distribution you chose for your work. But
baring those details I can tell you that the root volume that this started
from is indeed /dev/ha with the appropriate partitions starting at /dev/hda1
all the way to /dev/hda4. And typically the boot process starts from
/dev/hda1, unless you're using a Red Hat based one, in which case all bets
are off.

Also check to see if there are given details regarding how GRUB was
installed, that may give you more clues.


Seriously though the fact that we see your menu.lst file without a splash
image entry does suggest that you might have set this up yourself, or used
one that does not use them.
