not able of booting into rescue mode

I  learned, just now, something about the use of SYSLINUX.
That it is interesting, and I would like to know if the utilities of
SystemRescueCD are equivalent to use the SYSLINUX procedure...
(if they also allow to intervene in the same way to repair to an HD permanently
installed on the computer - Perhaps you don't know this very well... -you
said it- ).

And...
When we get (in some way) a working virtual kernel working on the RAM, how
we can access to the real file system (that is stored on the HD of the
computer)
in order to intervene at its repair?

I am not also sure  about your last answer:
You say that I can type a kernel file name at the prompt boot, after I
clicked the key "escape"...
But, ...how it  continue  this work, after?
...what I can (...at the last...) gain, performing this procedure,  ??
... I am afraid do do it really.. and don't understand ...
