Grab ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-0.90-i386-pc.ext2fs and dump it
to a floppy disk. Then you can boot with it. If you like grub then I
can provide you with more details on configuring and installing it.
When booting grub provides you with a preconfigured menu (that is, you
configure it by ediing a file, this floppy image comes with a sample
config) and a command line so that you can try out various options and
see what works. If you installed Linux on /dev/hda1 then you want to
have (hd0,0) as your root partition in grub's config.
You can dump the image to a floppy using
dd if=grub-0.90-i386-pc.ext2fs of=/dev/fd0
or you can use rawwritewin if you have a windows system (it's much
better now since it has a gui).
