I am using GRUB and I am sure I would be able to reinstall GRUB if I get it off the MRB , Though there is one thing still at the back of my mind : /dev/hda3 8485 8497 13 104422+ 83 Linux as you see the /boot is a different partition itself so if i copy the whole fs and then cerate a directory called /boot and link it to /dev/hda3 how would the system react to this change. Also my kernel and initrd is at /dev/hda3
If you have a different partition for /boot (/dev/hda3) then I'm guessing that your boot sequence for grub would be something like this:
root (hd2,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 ro <other params> initrd ... boot
Try this then: Create the alternate FS on hda1 and replace hda5 with hda1 in the 'kernel' line in menu.lst.
Ofcourse, "no bharchuk" ;)
