You should be able to boot off the first cd. Type rescue linux at the boot: prompt. Then tell it to mount your partitions. Then type chroot /mnt/sysimage at the prompt. This will put you in a state like booting single user. Then you can use grub-install /dev/hd?. Where the ? is the letter for your boot drive. Most like "a" or "e". Then exit and exit again should reboot the machine. That should restore grub.
