..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.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/md3
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
fallback=1
timeout=10
