Hi all. On one of my computers, I mistakenly thought the new grub was working okay and I ran the upgrade-from-legacy command. It's obvious I didn't know what I was doing!!! At any rate, now the computer won't boot and of course since I can't read the screen I have no idea what's going on. To make things worse, it isn't set to boot from cdrom so I can't just pop in a cd and try to use it; it's a thinkpad t23 laptop though I don't think that makes much difference with this problem. what I want to know is: is there anything I can do to get a command prompt of some kind and type something to get grub to try another device if that's the problem or is there anything else I can do or am I going to have to wait and see if somebody can help me try to set the cdrom to boot; for some reason I've had problems doing this though I've had other thinkpads and gotten them to reboot from cdrom. I know this was all my own fault for running the upgrade command and if I have to wait and try to get sighted help I'll of course do that, but if anybody has any suggestion of something I can try on my own I'll try just about anything. There is a floppy drive I can attach or insert but I think that would be pretty complicated; it might be a possibility though.
