If you still have the RH 8.0 media just insert CD1. When you get the 'boot' prompt type 'linux rescue'. Follow the prompts and it should locate your RH image. You will have to figure out what your boot device is at that point (like hd0, hd1, etc) and run 'grub-install'. Do a quick lookup on google and you will find plenty of info on grub-install.
