If grub is still working, you can edit grub at the boot screen (type 'e'
to edit) to get yourself booted and then fix grub.conf after you
successfully boot. You shouldn't have to get out the DVD to fix
grub.conf unless something is hosed with the kernel itself (and editing
grub.conf isn't going to help you).
