What distribution are you using? You should have been prompted to create a rescue/boot disk during installation. If you did this, pop that in and start up your computer. Once you're logged in, run "lilo" and that will restore it.

If you don't have a boot disk, or even if you do, you can boot to your install cd and select upgrade, lilo being the only thing you select to upgrade.
