I got interested in an old thing I thought might still work. This
you can do from a rescue disk that goes into grub, which is all the
Fedora ones for some time. I wanted to type this in the grub and see if
it works:
Well the root part worked fine. But I tried all variations on the kernel
description and it never took it. I removed LABEL=/ and put in /dev/sdxx
and tried many. Then I made it
kernel /boot//vmlinuz-2.6.23.14-107.fc8 ro root=LABEL=/
and that didn't work. Tried all the /dev/sdxx variations.
It appears that maybe kernel has been changed in the new grub.
