I haven't wiped out any partitions.
I tried chroot /mnt/sysimage as rescue CD let me.

But I don't know how to exit and reboot from shell -- rescue CD wrote that
after command chroot /mnt/sysimage
exit from shell and the system will be reboot.

Exit not results in rebooting.

Id this command in one line?

chroot /mnt/sysimage/sbin/grub-install /dev/hd(3)



No, it's two command lines chroot /mnt/sysimage -- makes the / command tree you would have after a normal boot effective ( you are no longer running commands from the rescue /bin, /sbin directories)


The /sbin/grub-install /dev/hd(x) should re-write the MBR.

Then exit twice, the first one will return you to the rescue environment, the second will reboot the system.


I'm doing this right now. The /sbin/grub-install /dev/hd(x) step is taking quite a while. I assume that if I have Fedora's / partition installed as /dev/hdb1 that that is what I should use in the aforementioned command (not /dev/hdb). Correct?

Thanks.
