You basically have to boot into rescue, download the appropriate packages and then re-install either grub or lilo. I highly recommend lilo. There is a web-page somewhere that goes through this in detail - I'm sorry but I just can't seem to find it. I'm relatively certain I found the link to it somewhere in the debian bugs for one of the grub packages.
