Just as I did, when following the
manual Frugal install, at the stage of
configuring GRUB.
If you mistakenly put in menu.lst:
kernel /boot/bzImage quiet
instead of
kernel /boot/vmlinuz quiet
And can no longer boot (not even to fix menu.lst), here is how to boot anyway (and fix menu.lst):
- Upon being prompted by the GRUB menu, press `e`.
- Then, with the 1st line selected (kernel /boot/bzImage quiet), press `e` again.
- Then, edit the line to replace `bzImage` with `vmlinuz`
- Then, hit Enter.
- Then, press `b`
Recovered!
Now, go and fix menu.lst before having to do this again...
