how to boot a hard disk kernel from a live CD?

I have a CD that I can boot from and start up the Linux kernel from the CD.
Then I can mount and access Linux partitions on the hard disk.
The computer is not set up for dual booting -- if I just boot the computer,
it goes directly to XP.
The kernel on the CD doesn't have the right drivers for the X system on this
computer, so I can't start up X-Windows. But there's a kernel generated for
this computer in /boot on one of the Linux partitions, so if I could boot
it, I would be able to run KDE. The /boot directory also contains grub.
Is there a way, after I've booted the live CD, to tell it to re-boot using
the Linux kernel and the root directory on the hard disk?
Thanks,
Cameron
