The spot is farther down in the file.  It is where you see your boot
section. As I showed above, the first word in the line is "kernel" and
there is no # mark.

There will be another place to put it after you find out if this works.
 The other place will be so that when a new kernel is installed, grub
will write your option in the new boot section.  Here is a complete boot
section.  The part "root=UUID..." may be only something like
"root=/dev/hda1" on your system.  The UUID is one way of noting it. Min=
e
is using that.  So here is what the section looks like:

## ## End Default Options ##

title           Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-16-386
root            (hd0,3)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-386
root=UUID=3db245ba-320f-4fd1-8671-18 8f2d36928c ro quiet
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-16-386
savedefault

==============

See how my kernel line is very long and seems to be two lines?  It is
really only one line.  See how it ends with quiet.  That is where you
would put vga=791

(Trying again, because all the equal signs turned into
"equal siqn three D"  I see that it also got scrubbed out of existence
in the archives.
