Hi
Actually you don't rebuild it, but you can copy it in from the u8 media
it's in top level directory boot in the media and is called
x86.miniroot
copy that in as /boot/x86.miniroot-safe AND if system is AMD64 based 
then also mkidir /boot/amd64 with 755 permissions and copy in the 
boot/amd64/x86.miniroot to /boot/amd64

on an amd64 system the menu.lst will be:
module /boot/amd64/x86.miniroot-safe

else
/boot/x86.miniroot-safe

prior to u8 there was only one failsafe, now there are two.
