Hi,

I want to make some changes

Is it right want I want to do ?

I will change in the menu.lst the default entry from 0 to 5, because the openvz kernel is on place 5.

It was not necessary to do. During the boot time you are able to chose appropriate kernel to boot via the boot menu interface. timeout - is an option that sets interval (in seconds) before bootloader tries to load the kernel which number corresponds the default option.

And then I want to change the root entry to (hd0,5).

This action allows you to chose GRUB root file system, i.e. where GRUB can take vmlinuz and initrd files. (GRUB root file system is not the Linux root file system).
The common Linux root filesystem you want to use bootloadet obtains from this line

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-12-fza-686-bigmem [CODE]root=UUID=19eab690-e5bf-4663-81b2-b74d7fcab58f[/CODE] ro quiet splash

Pay your attention to this

root=UUID=19eab690-e5bf-4663-81b2-b74d7fcab58f

This string tells to bootloader that your common (Linux) root file system locates on the disk with appropriate UUID.

If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask them.
Hope this helps you.
