If you can get into the system by bashing in the kernel boot parameters
at the grub prompt then all you need to do is duplicate that
information into grub.conf.  Can you not boot up, su to root and then
just edit the grub.conf file (which is probably a symlink
to /boot/grub/menu.lst)?

Well done for getting it to boot though!

Cheers
