Help, please !!

I am trying to set up a boot disc for my system.
I read read the GRUB  manual.  Using ''dd', I copied
stage 1 and stage 2 to my floppy (fd0)
I  copied  reiserstage_5 to the floppy and copied 'initrd' to the floppy.
I wrote 'menu.lst' and copied it to the floppy.
The 'menu.lst':

kernal (hd1,2)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb3
#initrd (hd1,0)/initrd root=/dev/hdb3
initrd (fd0)/initrd 
boot

######snip ##########

My '/' is located on hdb3 and '/boot' is located on /hdba.
I also copied 'vmlinuz' and  'initrd' to /.

When I use the boot disk, I get:
    GRUB..................

and the system just hangs.

Any thoughts ???
