If memory serves me right, you need to
rescue> set root=(hd0,1)
Assuming that /boot is a separate partition, created as /dev/sda1.
Season to taste. The grub shell has tab-completion, not sure if the
rescue shell has the same. If the installer created one single
partition, you may also need
rescue> set prefix=($root)/boot/grub
rescue> insmod normal
rescue> normal
And from there the regular grub commands (linux, initrd) should work.
There may also be a command to start the menu from there (insmod
gfxmenu?).
An easier but slower solution is to boot again from the installation
disc, start a rescue shell and re-run grub-install and update-grub.
