I did F9 on boot. Edited the second line of the normal boot to add 
XANDROSBOOTDEGUG=y. Backed out of that and booted from there. Once in 
single user mode I "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt-system" then "vi 
/mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst". Added the necessary information and ":x" to 
save and quit. Shut down and reboot with F9. No changes made.

Not being to sharp with CLI I cheated and put the new kernel into the 
/root/grub/ folder using file manager.

As I understand it /dev/sda1 and /device/sda2 file systems are merged 
after boot so they appear as a single file system.

Where it actually edits what I have no clue.
