There is a bug that has been around for quite some time where the grub command does not work during the install.
You should boot in rescue mode and rerun grub-install.
So this seems to be the correct diagnosis. I booted into rescue mode, and now the problem is this: /dev/sda1 is the boot partition. I see the kernel images and /grub in there. I can mount that. /dev/sda2 is the 'main' partition, but I guess its LVM or something like that. I can't mount it like "mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/sysimage"... Something about it can't find the filesystem. If I can't mount /dev/sda2, this means that I can't run grub-install. (As I understand things.) (And / Or, maybe I'm thick headed.)
