To repair the MBR:

boot a rescue CD
# chroot /mnt/sysimage
# grub-install /dev/sda

On some systems, it has been necessary to use old arguments:

# grub-install --no-floppy --recheck /dev/sda

# exit

That should do it.

Good luck!


Hmm...  There may be a bigger problem.
Trying to mount the existing installation as /mnt/sysimage (entering rescue mode, before the command prompt), I get:

"An error occurred trying to mount some or all of your system. Some of it may be mounted under /mnt/sysimage."

At the command prompt, I note that *nothing* is under /mnt/sysimage.

From there, running "chroot /mnt/sysimage" gets me:
"chroot: cannot run command `/bin/sh': No such file or directory"

/bin/sh is a link to /usr/bin/sh, which does seem to be there.

Am I totally hosed, or is there hope? In case it makes a difference, this is an F8 rescue disk, but the laptop HD is F9.
