Now, when I have finally installed GRUB on the sda so I can to boot
with it the Debian Etch that is on the sdb, I can use Debian Etch
Netinstall CD in rescue mode.

I run a shall in the rescue mode on the root partition of the Debian
Etch system (on the sdb). There I chroot target/ , mount /usr/ and run
grub:

grub> root (hd1,0)
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> quit
