[NMLUG] grub help

[ebrown at lanl.gov (Ed Brown)]

If you're not getting to the grub menu, then you'll need to boot from a
rescue disk or grub boot floppy.  (Do 'info grub' on a working box to
find out how to make a grub floppy, or for how to [re]install grub
permananently.)

Once you get to a 'grub>' prompt, try:
root (hd0,1)
kernel /SMP2.4.8HM ro root=/dev/hda3
boot
