Errr... that's a DOS thing unless theres something I missed.
Did you make a rescue disk during the install? If so it's easy:
Boot from the rescue disk. This should boot you into the root
filesystem on the HD.
#cd /boot/grub
#./install.sh
And then reboot.
If this doesn't work try it again and this time instead of the two lines
above, do this:
#lilo
If you don't have a rescue diskette it's a bit more difficult. Do you
know what your root partition is (e.g. /dev/hda5)? Is this the only
linux box you have available?
