How big is your kernel? Will silo boot it? Can you start over and do the following:
grub> reboot
You should be back at OBP. Now boot from the disk again and issue:
grub> ls -l /
and send the response? Can you also send a list of all the loaded modules?
grub> lsmod
If you have a rescue iso, it may be easier to boot from it, mount your disk, chroot to it, and then generate your missing grub.cfg file with grub-mkconfig and then reboot.
