+====== Restore grub  ======
+Sometimes, you may mess up with your grub and you can not even boot up your system because of the broken grub.
+Here is a simple way to restore or re-setup grub.
+  - Boot up your system with the first install CD or DVD to go to the rescue mode (e.g., linux rescue)
+  - Let the rescue mode mount your linux partition(your root(/) partition) to /mnt/sysimage.
+  - chroot /mnt/sysimage
+  - grub-install /dev/hda  <= if your grub is not installed/messed up, try to reinstall it
+  - grub
+  - root (hd0,1)           <= The first number indicates the disk and second one is for the boot partition
+  - setup (hd0)
+  - quit
+  - And get out of the rescue mode and then boot up your system without your installation CD / DVD
