No, just boot again like you did the first time by editing the kernel line on |
| 15 |
the fly at the boot screen. |

When the machine has booted, edit (as root!) |
| 18 |
/boot/grub/grub.conf |
| 19 |
or |
| 20 |
/boot/grub/menu.lst |
| 21 |
you may have to mount /boot first depending how you set up fstab. |

Both file names are commonly used in real life and one will be a symlink to |
| 23 |
the other |
