GRUB doesn't use labels like LILO... I'm beginning to wish I had installed LILO 
instead :D
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Configuration.html#Configuration

After reading that page myself, I'm going to edit my grub.conf file *again*...

title RedHat
       kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=/dev/hda2
title Debian
       kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-686 ro root=/dev/hda4
       initrd (hd0,0)/initrd.img-2.6.8-2-686

And see if this works :D
