No, just boot again like you did the first time by editing the kernel line on the fly at the boot screen. When the machine has booted, edit (as root!) /boot/grub/grub.conf or /boot/grub/menu.lst you may have to mount /boot first depending how you set up fstab. Both file names are commonly used in real life and one will be a symlink to the other -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
