Pretty simple really.
Just use the command
Code:
find / -name stage1
to find out which directory has Grub's system files stage1 and stage2. Then copy these two files into the directory /boot/grub.
Fire up a Grub shell at terminal, say the partition contains /boot/grub is the 2nd partition of your 1st hard disk known to Grub as (hd0,1) then Grub will be setup in the MBR by terminal commands
Code:
sudo su
grub
root (hd0,1)
setup (hd0)
quit
In the above the
red commands are inside the Grub shell while the others are Linux terminal commands.
The above, after a reboot, boots you to a Grub prompt with which you can boot any system manually. To boot the system automatically you need to write a menu.lst or Grub's configuration file.
We can suggest a menu.lst if you provide
(1) output of "fdisk -l" in a Bash terminal
(2) List of files inside /boot
Having said that there is no installed PC system that cannot be booted in a Grub prompt so it pays to know how to use it.
