+HOWTO: Boot an existing install
+
+Select "More Options" from the main menu.
+Move the cursor to "[EDIT ME] Boot an existing linux install"
+Press "e"
+
+At this point you will see the following:
+     root   (hd0,0)
+     kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/hda3 ro
+     initrd /kernel26.img
+
+This needs to be changed to accomodate your hardware.
+
+The first line should be changed to indicate where your boot medium resides.
+  "(hd0,0)" is the first partition on the first hard drive (hda1) - change these
+  numbers to indicate the partition containing your /boot directory.
+  
+The second line should be changed to point to your kernel.  If the line above
+points to a partition _only_ containing /boot, then /vmlinuz26 is fine.
+Otherwise, change this to /boot/vmlinuz.  root= should be changed to match the
+partition for your root filesystem.  Other kernel parameters can be added here.
+

+HOWTO: Contribute to these help files
+
+This help is rather simplistic.
+In order to provide help files or translations you simply need to make a text
+file.  Formatting is important (due to grub limitations).  The files MUST be 80
+characters wide, and 23 lines long.  Any more, and your formatting will be
+corrupted when viewing the help.  Please note that if your help is short, it is
+worthwhile to pad with empty lines, up to 23 lines.
+
+Please send any and all help files you wish to contribute, or any ideas for
+help, to arch@archlinux.org with "[isohelp]" in the title.
