Is it the original recovery disk created during installation?
Maybe the kernel on the floppy jumps to the wrong partition.
I guess you don't have grub on a floppy?

Reviewing, all of a sudden grub wouldn't let you boot.
Something caused that, but I don't know what it is.
If all you did was `fdisk /mbr`, your data is still
there. However, if whatever caused the bootup to fail
has hosed something.. who knows?
