# Boot your computer up with Ubuntu CD
# Open a terminal window or switch to a tty.
#

Go SuperUser (that is, type "sudo -s"). Enter root passwords as necessary.
# Type "grub"
# Type "find /boot/grub/stage1". You'll get a response like "(hd0,1)".
Use whatever your computer spits out for the following lines.
# Type "root (hd0,1)", or whatever your hard disk + boot partition
numbers are for Ubuntu.
# Type "setup (hd0)", to install GRUB to MBR, or "setup (hd0,1)" or
whatever your hard disk + partition nr is, to install GRUB to a
partition.
# Quit grub by typing "quit".
# Reboot and remove the bootable CD.
