You can run grub to reinstall the part that is in the MBR.
You use the 'root' command to tell it what partition has the config file
and 'setup' to write to the MBR of a particular hard drive. (If you are
using software raid 1, you want to do this manually as the install only
writes the MBR of one drive.)
Otherwise the grub.conf file is plain text and you can use your favorite
text editor to edit it.
