Boot by hook or crook into Linux single-user mode, and install a real boot loader.
You seem to be an slightly advanced user so I suggest you do the following., if you need ore explaination then do write in.
1. Boot using your CD in to rescue mode. 2. Mount your other partition (actually /boot is only required). Mount it under /mnt/sysimage/boot using the command "mount /dev/hdaX /mnt/sysimage/boot" 3. Do a "chroot /mnt/sysimage" (this does take approx 2 seconds). 4. Then do a "lilo -v -t" ( -v is for verbose and -t is for test) 5. Check the output of the above command, if everythingis fine, then do a "lilo -v" 6. Use "exit" to comeout of the chrooted mode. 7. Unmount your /mnt/sysimage/boot (using command "umount /mnt/sysimage/boot").. 8. Reboot and enjoy.
Welcome to the real world.
Bye and good luck.
