(1) The BIOS was not properly seeing the /dev/hda drive, so grub was confused about which drive had /boot. (2) If /boot is not on the same drive as grub, then grub must be installed from the grub shell using the install command, so that the location of the config file can be hard-coded into the stage 2 loader.
