= Restoring GRUB in the MBR =

Start up the system using the installation DVD (procedure tested with SuSE 10.0) in the
rescue mode.

Login as root user.

Use 
{{{
fdisk -l
}}}
to get the disk partitions and labels.

Then mount the "/boot" (or the "/" partition when there is no separate "/boot" partiton)
on "/mnt". Finally use the "grub-install" command.

Assuming that /dev/sda is the device on which you want to update the MBR and that the
partition /dev/sda5 contains the "/" partition:
{{{
mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
}}}
