Yeah, that's why I keep a Linux rescue disc handy all the time. As a yet more realistic example, try installing Windows on a computer running Linux... I love the way Windows actually "corrupts" the MBR by writing its own loader code (which can load Windows only) on the grub code (which can load any reasonable OS) without asking you.
