The command to create a symbolic link is:

ln

to link a name to a file or directory:

$ ln -s /orginal/path symbolic_link_name

this will create a symbolic link named , symbolik_link_name, to the
/original/path folder or file.

An example:

I want to create a symbolic link to /dev/root , and I want that
symbolic link to be in the  folder /home and named slinktoroot

# ln -s /dev/modem /home/slinktoroot

But I don't know if this will help to your problem, it seems to me
that the problem is in
grub configuration. The settings to the root dir might be wrong.
