Android x86 and grub2 - peace at last

I found a way to add android to the grub2 menu from debian on my eeepc laptop and on my debian/ubuntu workstations
Thanks for this page http://www.ceh-photo.de/blog/?p=357 I have downloaded the latest nightly for

eeepc http://android-x86.moonman.dk/
downloaded and created a usb disk
http://android-x86.moonman.dk/files/eeepc/eeepc-20110505_usb.img
dd if=eeepc-20110505_usb.img of=/dev/sdb
or if you use generic
dd if=eeepc-20110505_usb.img of=/dev/sdb
booted installed (without the grub installation option)
added android to the grub2 menu (debian sid, it should work on natty
too) and all worked without issues after that 



for me the system dir was /android-2011-02-xx and the
androidboot_hardware=eeepc
or if you run a genric pc
androidboot_hardware=generic_x86
please verify your dirs and mount your android partition to check the
dir name before running update-grub

mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt
ls /mnt/
android-2011-02-20  lost+found

Here is the full custom grub
