info GRUB (if it's installed properly).

the menu file is /boot/grub/menu.lst

you need to set the kernel command to be
hd(0,1)/boot/vmlinuz-blah mem=128M

how old is the machine if it's not recognising memory.

GRUB is harder to use than LILO at the moment (mainly because
so few people use it), but it has some much nicer features
(being able to pick which kernel you want to boot at boot time
makes me happy)
