There's the problem. There is no directory named "boot" on (hd0,0).
Grub doesn't understand the OS's mount tables because it isn't your
OS. Every partition is called "/" by grub, or (hdn,m)/ if you want to
specify which disk/partition.
Instead use
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.5 root=/dev/hda3 single
and it should work fine.
