You are still able to boot into rescue mode from CDrom (At prompt
'linux rescue' There are plenty of tools available to help recover a
lost MBR, and other incidents..
The rescue mode can also chroot to your existing installation on
harddrive - it makes this very easy, with instructions displayed after
it detects the installation.
