Use a boot floppy or Debian install CD to get access to your Debian
partition.  Then run 'lilo' or 'grub-install', depending, as root.
(You can also reinstall the MBR directly from a GRUB boot floppy if
you're using GRUB, but I don't remember how to do that right off hand.)

You should be able to type something along the lines of
'rescue root=/dev/hda1 single' at the install CD's prompt.
