Another thing you can do is put the install disk on and choose to
upgrade your current system and simply walk through the install again.
It shouldn't overwrite everything you've already done, but you can
choose to install Grub to your mbr at that point....without the
configuration.

I had a similiar problem and I had to do an install instead of an
upgrade from the installation CD. I only installed the kernel. The
upgrade would not work as the rpm database said that the kernel was
installed already.
My computer crashed during a kernel upgrade and I could not install
teh kernel from RPM using either booting off of the CD or the
emergency disk.
It did change my boot from dual (FC/XP) so I cannot boot into XP but I
don't care as I was about to trash XP anyways.
This was a good lesson in keeping an older kernel on the HD in cases
something like this happens again.
