If you can see it, but it's not there, it's virtual. 
If you can't see it, but it is there, it's hidden. 
It you can't see it and it isn't there, it's gone.

I don't think I ever bothered to make one. I was just hacking on the code 
itself, not _using_ it.

Something like

title=bzimage
root=(dc0,0)
kernel=/bzImage root=/dev/nftla

You don't need both. Grub needs a little more work which should be trivial 
to do - I've had it booting kernels but there's a bug somewhere.
