I installed 3 more systems - Lucid, Precise and Quantal on separate partitions to keep the grub files generic in case anyone needs a copy of the original file.
I got an upgrade to grub and it gave me some errors. Luckily I had a copy of
05_debian_theme to fix the error.
I had to edit fstab every time I installed another system as it would pull all of the swap partitions into fstab.
There is a section on editing fstab when installing or reinstalling Ubuntu in the wiki in my signature in section 1.7.
It would be very difficult to maneuver the long menu without customizing it as I have.
Here is what my grub2 screen currently looks like with 7 operating systems:
Here is the output of
sudo blkid:

They are easy to recognize since they have all been labeled as explained in 1.6 of the wiki.
I will try to put the generic grub files on the wiki but, if any one needs a copy of something let me know and I will post the contents of the file here.
