I haven't tried Knoppix yet, but I messed up my MBR just the other day and was able to fix it with the Woody install CD #1, which can also serve as a rescue CD. I booted to the CD, and then entered: 'rescbf24 root=/dev/hda3' at the prompt. This started up the 2.4 kernel (I had trouble trying to rescue with the default kernel; don't think it can read Reiserfs) and set root to my Woody partition. Then I just edited my menu.lst file for grub, reset the MBR with the 'update-grub' command, and rebooted. Everything worked fine after that.
