I don't think so...

Error 27: Unrecognized command.
You did want the output of GRUB write? |

Something is very wrong, maybe you should tell more about your system state, are you running this command from CD/USB or chroot? |
I was running this from the broken install of GRUB on my hard drive. |

Jaglover wrote: | mount is definitely not a GRUB command, you need to use valid GRUB commands to boot your system manually or boot from an external media. |
That's not... Never mind. I'll just reinstall.
UPDATE: It would seem it can be used by running:
Code: | kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.10.17-gentoo root=/dev/sda3 |
Anyone know how to fix that? |

Now mount your /boot partition.
Edit your grub.conf so correct kernel image will be booted. |
OK... Other than the commented lines and using 2 instead of 3 I had it fixed...
There, all edited... It's till booting weird... |

It still boots to the minimal install but running the command seems to work. |

Give me a moment to get something else working and I'll give you a copy of my /boot partition to review. |
