If not shown in the grub menu on boot just enter linux rescue when you see the boot command ( or hit escape at the grub graphical boot list) On completion you should see your disc mounted under /mnt/sysimage and boot under /mnt/sysimage/boot Use chroot /mnt/sysimage if you want to make any changes to fix the problem.
