When building a system, I entered an incorrect boot string and now the CD-ROM drive doesn't work. Is there any way to undo this or do I have to start over?

I thing the file is /etc/default/boot, but not sure now.
search in /etc/default as it will be there.

I know that the file is /etc/default/boot however, I do not see in that file what I entered as the string. The DEFBOOTSTR line says hd(40) unix swap=hd(141) root=hd(42). The only other thing I see that might have to do with it is BOOTMNT=RO which I do not know what that means. There is nothing in there about the CDROM.
