If memory serves me right, you need to rescue> set root=(hd0,1) Assuming that /boot is a separate partition, created as /dev/sda1. Season to taste. The grub shell has tab-completion, not sure if the rescue shell has the same. If the installer created one single partition, you may also need rescue> set prefix=($root)/boot/grub rescue> insmod normal rescue> normal And from there the regular grub commands (linux, initrd) should work. There may also be a command to start the menu from there (insmod gfxmenu?). An easier but slower solution is to boot again from the installation disc, start a rescue shell and re-run grub-install and update-grub.
