That should bring up your system.
Just to state the bleedin' obvious: naturally you need to replace the hd0,0 and sda2 in the above with the disk and partition that fits your system

As promised, I am now reporting on my attempt to resurrect the installation of 11.2 MS6. When I went to do what you suggested I remembered that I had a copy of the *System Rescue Disc* and, therefore, first used it to see if I could recover. I was successful. I mounted /dev/sda1, where I thought /boot was located. Using mc (midnight commander), I looked at menu.lst.old and saw that it was showing the right parameters, renamed it to menu.lst (to overwrite the rubbish one causing all the trouble after all the updates), and rebooted. I was then back in 11.2 MS6. Thank you once again for pointing me in the direction on how to regain my installation of 11.2.
