There's two ways to do it. 1) Boot off the rescue CD in single user
mode, then:
# chroot /mnt/sysimage/boot
# grub-install /dev/hda
# exit (leaves the chroot environment)
# exit (exits the rescue boot)
2) Use grub, but the easier sequence is:
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)
That assumes that the the stage1 loader is in /boot/grub and that /boot
is NOT a separate partition. If you're not sure, use the sequence:
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
grub> root (whatever-the-find-command-displays)
grub> setup (hd0)
