Putting an MBR on all disks right after an OS install, as previously mentioned, is of course the best option (although it's too late for that in this instance). Others have talked about using the live CD to recover from your situation, which is good.
Other, "less good" options that might be available to you are:
- change the boot device in the BIOS
- if the server isn't capable of doing that, have them flip the cables.
I, also, would recommend having a little chat with their manager ...

Devin,
In terms of the installing the MBR after the OS install, is this the responsibility of me, or the datacenter? I would assume that I would have to copy the MBR if the install already completed..
Also, would I need KVM access to do this or can it be done through SSH? My DC charges a rental for KVM.
