Try the following :

$ grub
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
quit

root (hd0,0) defines where your boot partition is [(hd0,0)=hda].
setup (hd0) installs grub in hda's MBR.
It works fine on my notebook with sid.

btw. u don't have to run grub every time you edit menu.lst or
upgrade a kernel image, that's its beauty :)
