Boot using the CD/DVD and at the linux prompt

linux rescue

then follow the prompts to mount the files system. Drop in to the shell

chroot /mnt/sysimage
mount -a
ls /boot

ensure it has mounted

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
grub2-install /dev/sda

Have a look at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Grub2
