did lilo rewrite my boot sector?



Hi,

 I was installing a new kernel and accidentally pressed "return" when
 asked if I wanted to have lilo rewrite the boot sector of my disk.
 The install failed, and I want to figure out whether the boot sector
 was ACTUALLY rewritten.  I use GRUB, so I'd really rather not have to
 deal with setting up the boot loader all over again...

Is there a way to look at the boot record and see when it was last
modified, or what its contents are?  

thanks,
matt
