When the boot screen starts, you should be able to interrupt (F2 or F10 IIRC) and 
edit the boot line.  Otherwise, boot from another device. e.g, thumb drive, mount 
sda1, and edit boot.cfg.

As an aside, I only install grub for completely new installs.  Generally you only 
need to install the kernel on a separate boot partition and edit grub.cfg.  If you 
built the new system on sda4, then you have a backup when things need to be changed.
