Just write after the quoted part you are repling to.
And remove quotes not needed for context and you are not replying to.

Please take a minute to read carefully the warnings and understand what 
they imply.

Then press "e" at the boot menu to edit the boot entry, replace "sdd1" 
with "sdb1" and press F10 to boot immediately. Note this is volatile, 
nothing is written on the device. To fix things permantently you must 
run update-grub after the system is started.
