My MBP fails to boot Arch.

This is what I did to install ArchLinux.

Install rEFIT.

Partition using disk utility such that first one is Mac partition, second is Arch & the third ie the last one is windows.

Then put Windows 7 CD, select it from rEFIT and install it.

Similar, install ArchLinux just as I did for windows.

Then finally to install the GRUB, I issued the command $grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/arch --recheck /dev/sda3 (after mounting my /dev/sda3 to /mnt/arch).

This is the exact error and then it drops to recovery.

Error after typing exit. I have tried rootfstype too. No success.

My menu.lst (I have tried /dev/sda3 too).

What can be the reason? Is there a problem with the ramdisk?

I have tried manually mounting the partition /dev/sda3. Fails to recognize that there is a partition like that.
