boot disks

[Robert Hemus]

This is somewhat embarrassing.  I was messing around and blew my
(hd0,0).  I have a boot disk for my LibraNet so I can get on line.  I'm
thinking I'll need to use a windoze rescue disk to boot the cdrom with a
linux distribution to set up a new grub boot loader??  Or can I copy
what to (hd0,0); /boot, /boot/grub/menu.lst, or??  Or can I copy the
boot disk I have for LN to the MBR?
