Rescue Disk

Rescue disk

Here's how you make it work:

• get the install CDROM.
• at the syslinux prompt, type: linux rescue
• follow through all the prompts, and let it mount the linux partitions.
• at the shell, type: chroot /tmp/syslinux (or whatever the command is, the system will tell you)
• do a df -k to see what device you are using for / (on the dell, it was sda1)
• do a grub-install with the appropriate device name (without the partition number)

# grub-install /dev/sda

• reboot
