booting linux using a floppy



hi ppl,
i have linux installed on my hard-disk,but after i installed
windows,the MBR was over-written and the grub loader has now to be
installed again for dual-boot. i have tried installing the kernel using
the Redhat 9 CD's but all (i have 17 of them) to be spoilt. i have
created a bootable floppy using mkbootdsik and the sytem is booting
usinh that floppy, and now shows the prompt

boot:

wat do i do next to restore the previous installation.


thanx in advance

.
