Nice.

No append=3 is LILO syntax not GRUB.
You do it like this:
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-amd64 root=/dev/sda1 3
By the way you can use grub-mkconfig to generate a grub.cfg for you.

Oh for the graphic mode to work you need to have /usr/src/unifont.bdf
file which is for Debian/Ubuntu in bf-utf-source package and then
compile grub2 with `./configure --enable-grub-mkfont' so that the fonts
files needed for it are generated.
And then you can use a background image with something like this in
grub.cfg:
insmod png
background_image /my/image.png
or you can use insmod jpeg or tga
Themes are not yet supported but Colin's gfxmenu branch will be merged
soon.
