Fixing the boot depends on how it is broke. It could be boot block missing, grub stage1.5-3 pieces missing, grub.conf missing corrupted and/or kernel/initramfs files, missing boot flag on the partition. What message does it give you when you attempt to boot up? And in general except for a single condition I know of that would have required you to be updating kernels before the final reboot, typically the boot stuff does not suddenly stop working. So you probably need to indicate what work you did on that last boot. There are 2-3 different failures you can have if you were updating a kernel and it did not go exactly right. Where exactly is it failing in the boot? And I deal with people all day that come to me with how do I do this to fix linux booting, and rarely are their guesses on what is actually broken and needs to be fix right. And often if they fixed what they wanted to do would have made things much worse..
