    You should be able to edit menu.lst file by loading your installation CD. Open a terminal and login as root (su or su -) and open a text editor from the command line to get to that file. Don't use Fedora so I'm not sure what your text editors are.

    Use gedit for the fedora text editor

    Use your boot CD and boot into rescue mode.
    When asked allow it to mount your HD.
    Then edit your grub.conf file.

    Here is a sample of what is in mine for loading the kernel image:
    Code:
    title Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (2.6.9-67.0.4.EL)
            root (hd0,0)
            kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-67.0.4.EL ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
            initrd /initrd-2.6.9-67.0.4.EL.img
