..if you _have_ installed, but just screwed to the grub setup, 
use cd number one to boot "Linux rescue" or some such, the 
Debian installer cd's provide good help from the [F1] buttons 
onwards.

..once you have your rescue system up, go edit the config to fit your 
own system, mine:
arnt@a45:~$ cat /boot/grub/grub.conf

# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this
file# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.

#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/md3
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
