after booting into SuSE 9, at the command line type these, assuming your boot partition is the first partition of hda,
grub
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)

On the SuSE disk you will probably have a 'rescue' option which will allow you to reinstall your boot loader.

And you could search the JL forums for 'reinstall grub' (http://justlinux.com/forum/search.php?s=&action=showresults&searchid=939002&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending) as I just replied to one yesterday. :)
