I installed foresight-1.9.9.alpha4+20080222-x86_64.  I chose
Syslinux/Extlinux as the bootloader. Probably I did not install the
bootloader to MBR although I supposed to have done that. The result is that
the previous bootloader (Grub) started my Mandriva linux as before.

Previously I have restored grub using Knoppix and chroot. Is it possible to
restore Extlinux somehow?

Or shall I write the actual part of extlinux.conf to Mandriva's menu.lst?
If so, then how to "translate":

label 2.6.23.14-0.0.1.smp.gcc4.1.x86_64
    menu label 2.6.23.14-0.0.1.smp.gcc4.1.x86_64
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23.14-0.0.1.smp.gcc4.1.x86_64
    append quiet vga=0x317 splash ro root=LABEL=/ initrd=/boot/initrd-
2.6.23.14-0.0.1.smp.gcc4.1.x86_64.img

label 2.6.23.14-0.0.1.smp.gcc4.1.x86_64
    menu label Foresight Linux GNOME Alpha4 (
2.6.23.14-0.0.1.smp.gcc4.1.x86_64)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23.14-0.0.1.smp.gcc4.1.x86_64
    append quiet vga=0x317 splash ro root=LABEL=/ initrd=/boot/initrd-
2.6.23.14-0.0.1.smp.gcc4.1.x86_64.img

Just some hint please ...

Or is it simplist to install Alpha 4 again?
