> y is the partition number of /boot
> 2. grub> kernel /vmlinuz-<version> ro root=<device file name of root
> partition>
> type the appropriate kernel to boot & the device file name of root

> grub> kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.el5 ro root=/dev/sda2
> 3. grub> /initrd-<version>.img
> type the appropriate initrd version
> 4. grub> boot
