relax, getting grub back is no big deal
boot using the RH 9 cd
at the boot: prompt type linux rescue
it will start linux from cd in rescue mode
the RH cd will mount your filesystem under /mnt/sysimage and give you a
command prompt
at the prompt issue the following commands
chroot /mnt/sysimage
grub-install /dev/hda (assuming u boot using hda)
restart & you are ready to rock!!
