Might be useful to people if you also had the command to install the /boot directory so there would actually be a vmlinuz kernel to boot. Along with a splash.initrd file.
I had the same trouble and it was not solved until I changed sda2 by hda2. I have Ubuntu 9.4 and BT3 instaled. Just add the next lines at the end of your menu.lst and change (hd0,1) and hda2 to your own parameters. The line “savedefault” is not neccesary.

mkdir /mnt/bt/boot
mount /dev/sda8 /mnt/sda8/boot
cp –preserve /boot/vmlinuz /mnt/sda8/boot/
cp –preserve /boot/splash.initrd /mnt/sda8/boot/
