You could boot a live linux CD, mount your partitions and re-run either lilo or grub-install.

Here we go. If at all possible, boot into Init level 3 (gentoo would do this)

1. boot the CD
2. create a new folder, mkdir /fedora
3. mount all your partitions under /fedora. Mount / first, followed by any others.
4. type chroot /fedora /bin/bash
5. type env-update
6. type source /etc/profile

You are now essentially running your fedora system

7. Re-run the bootloaders install. For lilo, just type lilo, for grub it is grub-install /dev/hda

REBOOT.
