Trisquel Mini 6 refuses to boot

Hi, I got a little problem with becoming a new linux user.
Description of situation: Trisquel Mini 6.0 + quite aged hardware like nVidia MCP61 chipset based motherboard (integrated graphic GeForce 6100 nforce 605) and CRT monitor.
Trisquel works fine in VMware Player. Works fine as live-cd booted too.
But after being installed in configuration mentioned above it refuses to boot by selecting some incompatible with hardware graphic mode. Monitor shows only "frequency over range" message.
I have googled for that, ubuntu and grub and found this is well known issue. It seems I need to play with grub gfx mode settings. But since system can not be booted in usual way, is there a way to login into installed Trisquel after boot from live-cd?
You can boot the live system and then 'chroot' into the installed system to do whatever needs to be done to fix the problem (I assume you need to edit /etc/default/grub and run 'update-grub'). That is not that easy for a GNU/Linux beginner.
If you feel brave enough, read this documentation (and come back here for some directions): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot (forget about items 3-5 and 8-9; replace item 12 with your fix)
Otherwise, search for someone to help you (a friend?, a LUG nearby?, etc.).
Thank you very much for pointing out the solution!
Chrooted like a charm.
Right now I'm posting this comment from Midori browser after boot from hard drive.
