Today we upgraded one of our VM's from F9 to F10 and after the first
reboot we see the dreaded GRUB prompt. This it turns out is a known
problem with F10 installs. And the recovery is usually very simple.
You boot into rescue mode from CDROM and reinstall the boot loader. The
problem we're seeing is that even though I select CDROM from the boot
menu, it will never boot from the CDROM. It always has an error. What
can we do to get this VM to boot from the CDROM drive so that we can
install a new bootloader and recover this VM?

Regards,
