I now see that your OP did NOT get a grub prompt... Missed that.
So to add to the above:
a. You could get a grub prompt by/from a live CD/media, at its grub stage.
b. You could fish around for exact paths with tab-expansion;
Doing something like

Note the left-parenthesis
will expand to all drives. Choose one and keep searching for boot/grub
which may be just grub if you have a separate boot partition
