You can also get back in this way:
Put in your install CD#1
at the splash screen hit F1 and type "rescue"
Now we hope you remember which partition on the hard disk that you put the
filesystem labeled /. If you don't, then run this
# fdisk /dev/hda
p
q
where # is the system prompt and the other keystrokes are yours. You will
then have a look at the partition table--record all partitions where the type
is "Linux Native" Lets say for example that your linux native partitions are
listed as /dev/hda5 /dev/hda7 and /dev/hda9
Do this
# mount /dev/hda5 /mnt
# cd /mnt/etc
If you get an error message that the directory doesn't exist issue this
command
# umount /dev/hda5
and try the next on your list.
If it changes directory then
# cd /
# chroot /mnt
# /sbin/lilo
# shutdown -r now
And remove your boot CD.
You will be using lilo, but you should be able to change back to grub (both
stay in sync through drakboot).
