Hi,
I've found a solution to rewrite the partition boot loader on a
partiton with linux already installed:
- boot with the debian cd and execute the initial steps before
'partition disks'
- open a shell (not in the debian main menu but with ALT+F2)
- mount your partition (it should be in /dev/disks/disk1/.../partN):
mount /dev/disks/... /target
- execute 'chroot /target' so that you have a shell on your installed
system
- launch grub or lilo to rewrite the partition boot loader
