normally upon booting you would end up with the grub command prompt

grub>

type the following to boot your machine:

root (hd0,0)
# adjust this to suit your machine eg. (sd0,0) for SCSI disk
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.724_FC3 ro root=LABEL=/
# if you don’t know what your kernel is called use the TAB key

initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.724_FC3.img
# if you don’t know what your initrd is called use the TAB key

boot

That should make your machine boot and you can the re-run:

grub-install /dev/hda
# obviously adjust accordingly to your boot device (/dev/sda for SCSI drive)
