You are still able to boot into rescue mode from CDrom (At prompt 
'linux rescue'  There are plenty of tools available to help recover a 
lost MBR, and other incidents..

The rescue mode can also chroot to your existing installation on 
harddrive - it makes this very easy, with instructions displayed after 
it detects the installation.
