Help! I just destroyed my root filesystem

2003-06-12 Thread Richard Heycock
I ran grub-install on my root partition instead of my boot partition and now I cannot boot my machine. I can get to the stage where the kernel tries to mount the root filesystem but it cannot mount at as it is not the correct type (reiserfs). If I run file -s /dev/hda5 it returns x86 boot sector.
