Grab ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-0.90-i386-pc.ext2fs and dump it to a floppy disk. Then you can boot with it. If you like grub then I can provide you with more details on configuring and installing it. When booting grub provides you with a preconfigured menu (that is, you configure it by ediing a file, this floppy image comes with a sample config) and a command line so that you can try out various options and see what works. If you installed Linux on /dev/hda1 then you want to have (hd0,0) as your root partition in grub's config. You can dump the image to a floppy using dd if=grub-0.90-i386-pc.ext2fs of=/dev/fd0 or you can use rawwritewin if you have a windows system (it's much better now since it has a gui). HTH, -D
