grub-install is not guaranteed to work. The basic way to get a usable
grub is roughly:
1) Install the grub package using your favorite method (tarball, RPM,
etc.)
2) create the /boot/grub structure (either on floppy or on disk)
3) Copy the stage* files from the installed location (ymmv) to the
/boot/grub directory.
4) Create a menu.lst in /boot/grub
5) Do the following:
grub
root(location of the /boot/grub)
setup(location of the drive where mbr is to be written)
In my case, /boot/grub is on hd1,0 and the mbr is to be written to
hd0. In normal disk numbering terms this is /dev/hdb1 and /dev/hda.
