help with editing grub

i was following the install page for grub and accidentally typed in the wrong line so that

kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel/bzImage root=/dev/hda6
was typed on

what I really want is

kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda6

I have gone into edit mode over and over with the 'e' option to edit the commands before booting and deleted kernel the path but then I don't know how to make the change stick, when I hit 'b' for boot, it automatically reverts back to the line with kernel in the path.

can someone help?

you can boot right?, if yes mount your boot partition then edit the grub.conf in /boot/grub/grub.conf

i don't think that u can directly create or write a permanenet config for grub through edit.

boot from the command line e.g:

grub> root(hd0,0)

grub> kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda6

grub> boot

that should get the system running and then manually edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst or grub.conf whatever the config file is.
