[Mailinglist] retriving linux

[Sunjith P S]

Hi,

Boot using FC3 disk 1.
At boot prompt type "linux rescue" and press enter.
Follow onscreen instructions and when you're finally dropped into a shell, 
type "chroot /mnt/sysimage".
Then if you had installed grub, type "grub-install /dev/hda" (assuming your 
hdd is connected as primary master on IDE. Use instead of 'hda', hdb - 
primary slave, hdc - secondary master, hdd - secondary slave, sda - scsi or 
sata)
If you had installed lilo, just type "lilo -v".
Now exit the shell and when it reboots, you should see your good old 
bootloader.

Regards,
Sunjith
