Grub2 made my systeum unbootable

Rashly, after today's upgrade I followed the exhortation in the grub
legacy package to move to grub2. I now cannot boot at all; I just get
the message "Grub" and nothing more.

Looking at /boot/grub with my rescue disk I see all sorts of files I
don't recognize but no menu.lst.

Is there any way to restore things? Please don't tell me I have to
reinstall!
