You need to edit you grub.conf file, put ther three lines below into
your /boot/grub/grub.conf, there's some extra 'mantra' in there as well
to show you an image as the background, timeouts and other stuff, I've
attached mine as an example.
The other important file is /boot/grub/device.map is automatically
generated by the grub command, there is a 'nice' way to do but I've
forgotten, here's _a_ way to do it:
mv /boot/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/device.map.backup && echo "quit" |
grub --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map
This will give you the device mappings for grub style device names.
Then just fix up your grub.conf and do a `grub-install` and you should
be done :)
To save a little confussion, I have FC1 on hdc2, /boot on hdc1 and WinXP
on hda2.
Hope that all works for you.

You can try like this
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 ro hdc=ide-scsi rhgb acpi=on
grub> boot
Now you can reconfigure your Linux

Hi!
I´m trying to boot my FC1 box and the grub now, instead of
opening the screen with options to boot on Win or Linux, it now
opens a GRUB prompt with lots of options.
I tried several, but could not boot to linux. What should I put
on the Grub prompt to get into the box?
Regards,
Thiago
