Did you install and setup lilo or grub? You can boot off the cd, remount your drives, and configure it, no need to start over.

post you grub.conf file and we can help you get it right.

You did this, correct?
Code:

grub> root (hd0,0) (Your boot partition)
grub> setup (hd0) (Where the boot record is installed; here, it is the MBR)
