It is clear that the MBR has not been disturbed, because the BootManager, which resides in the MBR, is intact. Since GRUBB resides in its own little partition, I am assuming that it too is intact, or at least its partition is still available to have GRUBB installed on it. That means that what I have to do is to get into YaST2 and redirect the loader to where it should be, or equivalently to give a command-line instruction that will do the same thing. I don't know how to do either of those things, and the books I have here don't tell me. I have never used the Rescue entry into SuSE. I have tried to go into it, and am confronted with a demand for an ID and PW. I tried "root" as ID, but I have no idea at all what it will accept as a PW. What's a reasonable password for Rescue? How can I find how to select the loader location?
