Nice one :-)

But anyway, a short tip for the next time you face a problematic
boot-situation:

the nice thing about GRUB is that you can even edit the config from
within the boot menu. Just stop the timeout, select a boot option and
press "e". Edit the line and press "b" to boot with the manually edited
config. This way you can make several tries if your pc doesn't boot up.

cheers,
Guido
