Is there any particular reason for so many partitions? Why not one boot
partition, one swap partition and two root partitions? That would be a more
normal way of doing it.

Sorry, too tired and bleary to look at it properly. Maybe. As I said above I
think you'd be better off with one /boot partition.

I think you should end up with the grub command line, which should allow you
to specify a kernel and boot.

You could boot from a rescue CD (Knoppix or SystemRescueCD should be fine),
mount your partitions, chroot, edit your config files and try again (either
with grub or lilo).

Change 'default=0' to 'default=1'.

HTH, good luck.
