To fix it you'll have a little work to do. First get a boot disk that
you can mount partitions with. Next mount the /boot partition,
re-edit your grub conf file. Point the image reference back to the
old file or remove the splash screen altogether. The reinstall grub.
Once you've done this you should be up and running with linux again.
