as you suggested and Grub is back working once more! I knew there must be an easy way ...
Again, thanks for the help.

I installed Windows 98 in an empty DOS partition on this RH-9 computer and of course it now boots to Windows instead of letting Grub offer the usual choice of operating systems. How do I repair the damage?
IF you made a boot floppy during your install, boot from that. Then, look at your /boot/grub/grub.conf file and see if it looks correct. You can even add a section for the new DOS partition to dual boot to it.
Then, as root execute
/sbin/grun-install /dev/hda
to overwrite the MBR with the grub boot record.
If you didn't make a boot floppy, the rescue mode of the kernel on CD-1 may save you.
Hope this helps.
