I've always installed grub manually. from the grub shell:
install (hd0,0)/grub/stage1 (hd0) \
(hd0,0)/grub/stage2 p \
(hd0,0)/grub/grub.conf(hd0,0) is hda1, (hd0,1) is hda2, (hd1, 0) is hdb1, etc. Tab-completion works very well within the shell for not only files but also hard drives and partitions. (hd0) refers to installing stage1 on the MBR of hda. You can replace grub.conf with whatever file you use as your menu file.
