Tom Horsley responded:
Much the same thing happened to me with a beta version of opensuse,
I found these instructions to get back control of the master boot record:

Boot off fedora dvd.

Type linux rescue, answer all the questions, might as well skip
mounting any partitions.

grub
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
quit
exit

jack byers reply:
i think i understand that,
except i dont have a fedora dvd, it was installed for me by  a vendor.
can i do same by booting up fc5 as normal and then
do something like
as root
  init 1   ?
and then the grub cmds you give?

thanks for response
Jack
