Yes, that is what you need. Somewhat minimal but may be good
enough. :-)

Because? Your BIOS should let you specify a boot order
and maybe even pick up a boot device for that particular
boot. Details vary with a particular BIOS.

Very good. "root" here means "grub-root", i.e. that partition on
which boot images reside and not '/' of a Linux file system.

Well, you wrote that on (hd0,1). Is that incorrect? If
yes, then change it.

Yes, this is really the same stuff you see in /etc/grub.conf.
So you have to type something like
kernel /vm... ro root=LABEL=/ s (or "3" instead of "s")
(grub expands so let it help you) and in the next line
initrd /init...
and on the next line
boot
Check "General boot methods" in 'info grub' and in particular
"GNU/Linux" there.
You are likely also seeing something like this:
[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB
lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
completions of a device/filename.]
