You don't. If you use GRUB, you issue the very simple GRUB commands to
do this. Either to the disk as a whole or to a particular partition. I
would imagine that there is a LILO counterpart.

For GRUB:

	root (hd0,0)		# Or whatever your disk is

	find /boot/grub/stage1	# Verify that the root command is 				# correct.
This will list the ones
				# found.

	setup (hd0)		# Install GRUB on disk's MBR.

	- or -

	setup (hd0,0)		# Install GRUB on disk's first
				# partition.

Time for tea.
