I don't do doze. If you haven't backed up everything, then do that first. What bootloader do you use? If you have a floppy drive, make a grub-disk (package grub-disk). If you dont' know grub, read the manual and practice first. Have a debian installer disk/cd available and practice with in in rescue mode. On Etch's, you get a menu item for installing the boot loader. Other than that, you chroot into your / partition and then run whatever command installs the boot loader (its been too long since I ran lilo to remember how to do that).
