[Tfug] Grub rescue

[Ammon Lauritzen]

Boot from a rescue/live cd.

Most installers can help you recover a hosed setup. One way is by
getting you into a full grub environment, from which it is often
possible to attempt booting directly from the os on disk.

Grub is crazy powerful, check docs/wikis for specifics.
