I used the commands

find . -iname \*vmlinuz\*
find . -iname \*initrd\*

and found the files. For some reason I wasn't able to get to them before I
changed the root to the mounted image using

chroot /mnt/sysimage

>initrd /initrd-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3.img

it turns out I can enter these two commands as follows

kernel (hd0,6)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4
initrd (hd0,6)/boot/initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img

Now I can issue the boot command, and bootup goes through several steps but
unfortunately hangs.

There are a bunch of similar lines on screen at the time, the last line reads:

[<c0103a51>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb

Not sure why it won't go further. I wonder if I need to set some other
parameter in grub before booting??
