LOL! Now you gave the poor guy at least three different numbers. One
thing is right though: find /boot within Grub's numbering scheme.
Instead of GUESSING try the following:
1. Enter grub as usual
2. Enter root ( and press tab. Grub lists the available disks /
partitions
3. Select the one you're think is right. At the end of the line e.g.
root (hd0,1) add / and press tab again. Grub now list the directory
content of that root partition. If you found what you were looking for
you're done - else continue with step 2.
