Installing a boot loader after Installing RedHat 7.3???

["John N. Alegre" <listhub libros andante mn org>]

Ok,

Back to the list with questions.

First off let me thank Duncan and Jonathan for helping me with the "Network in
Rescue" problem.  I solved the problem another way but thanks for the help.

Ok, situation ...

IBM Thinkpad 600.  Old Linux 6.3. Attempts to upgrade failed due to bad media.
(Damn Nero).  Did a complete install with new disks.  This is a dual boot
laptop with a NT Partition and a Linux system.  Boot Magic running in a small
hidden FAT partition has always booted both systems.  Ok, In my confusion I
thought that since boot magic was booting both partitions that I did NOT need a
boot loader for linux so I choose to not install one during the Install.

But nooooo....

Boot magic does need a boot loader.  I know it works with LILO as that was what
was on the old 6.3 system.  I do not know if it works with GRUB.  Does it?

And now I have a Linux 7.3 system that boots fine with the boot floppy but not
with Boot Magic.

So I tried to do an upgrade and install the boot loader during the upgrade. 
Message was "No kernel upgrade, boot loader not installed".

Is there any way to do a manual install of lilo, (or GRUB if it works with Boot
Magic 8.0)?  I want the boot loader on the 50MB partion that I am mounting as
/boot.

All comments welcome.
