Here is what ls -l of /boot shows as far as symbolic links; it looks 
like there are 4:

"System.map-2.6.8-24.10-default
System.map-2.6.8-24.10-um
backup_mbr

boot (pale blue) -> .
config-2.6.8-24.10-default
config-2.6.8-24.10-um
grug (blue)
initrd (green) -> initrd-2.6.8-24.10-um

initrd-2.6.8-24.10-default
initrd-2.6.8-24.10-um
linux (pale blue)  -> linux-2.6.8-24.10-um
linux-2.6.8-24.10-um (green)
memtest.bin

message
symvers-2.6.8-24.10-i386-default.gz (red)
symvers-2.6.8-24.10-um-um.gz (red)
vmlinux-2.6.8-24.10-default.gz (red)
vmlinux (pale blue)  -> vmlinuz-2.6.8-24.10-default
vmlinuz-2.6.8-24.10-default"

As for ls -l for /boot/grub, there are a lot of files there.  Two of the 
files are menu.lst and menu.lst.old.  There were no arrows at all.  So I 
assume that there are no symbolic links in /boot/grub.

I did a "less command" for menu.lst, and this looks like the file that 
would have to be edited.  There's a lot of complicated stuff in there.
