Sigh, I blew away my MBR so my Fedora cannot boot.
Can I use grub-install to restore my MBR or is there a seperate process for that?
What I do is:
1) Boot from rescue CD (first Fedora disk is fine)
2) Run grub from command line
3) Enter:
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
quit
4) reboot
Of course, change the above to suit your disk arrangement.

A way that I restore the mbr is by booting with the first install CD or
DVD. I then type 'linux rescue' at the prompt.
Once detection of the installation is achieved, I type
chroot /mnt/sysimage
to get to a working environment.
Next, I type 'grub-install /dev/hda' (change to your boot drive, like
/dev/sda)
exit and exit should reboot the computer (I type reboot instead) and
grub should be installed in the MBR. The computer should boot from grub
after the process is complete.
