how to get back in?

Does anyone know how exactly to reinstall grub from the command line?

today after i startup the comp, instead of my nice menu for grub, i get

"grub> " again no clue what to do. So i just use the rescue CD to boot linux into a command prompt.. unfortunately startx doesn't work.

I know you can reinstall lilo with sbin/lilo... is there a similar command for grub?

It just means that it has gone from graphical startup to command line. I think, its like that w/lilo. You may have noticed a 'Press C to go to command line' or something similar. How to get back to graphical, I dont know... not with grub. But if you just type in linux at the grub> prompt... it should start exactly the same.

TTFN,
