In 'menuconfig' I think you're suppose to press the left arrow to go back. But anyways I think I figured out what the problem was. I used a block count of 8640:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=kernel.img bs=512 count=8640
which is not the usual block count for a floppy. Perhaps this is what cause the problem. Because after I went back and used the example disk on the site like you said, I decided to use the block count they recommended (2880) and it worked. The only thing however, is that my project is over 3MB which means I need a lot more than 1.44MB. I was thinking about changing the settings in the grub commands but I'm not sure if they would work. Here is my intended setup:
the idea in my head is that if grub is looking for a floppy it looks for a 1.44MB image, so if it is looking for a harddrive then it looks for a random size image

By the way, when the image boot it says
Code:
Error 13: Invalid executable
This just mean that the executable is not compatible with my processor right? Because the example disk I downloaded was for Pentium 3 but my processor is a Pentium 4.
I simply booted the image using
