Finally installed! but no boot loader...

[Dotan Cohen]

After two hard days, I finally got kubuntu to install, but with no
boot loader. This is the message I got during install:
"You will need to boot manually with the /vmlinuz kernel on partition
/dev/hda1 and root=/dev/hda1 passed as a kernel argument"

When I booted up I got to a prompt that asked for a user name. I gave
root and got a prompt with no password. What must I do now to get grub
installed and to have a gui? Thanks for putting up with me!
