The /boot partition is being mounted, but since my menu.lst file was worthless
after the video driver install, it would only boot to the grub shell, becuase
grub couldn't find any files to boot.

Once I fixed the menu.lst problem, my next problem is that all the old kernel
files have been removed, and I only got a partial installation of the new
kernel files.

So, I am able partially boot.  If I could copy the initrd-2.6.22.13-0.3-bigsmp
file to /boot, I'd be able to boot, or so I suspect.
