Do not try to install from within the grub shell "grub>". Grub-install resides in your original Fedora installation on your hard drive. At the initial rescue console prompt you are within the directories of the CD/DVD. If your fedora installation is intact, it is mounted under the directories "mnt/sysimage". You must either "cd" into appropriate directories and/or use the "chroot" command (chroot /mnt/sysimage)to use these files. Try running the command from within "/boot". In using "grub-install" make sure you know which device is which. The grub-install program creates a customized version of "grub stage 1" which contains the location of your fedora /boot partition or directory and puts it where you tell it. If you boot off "disk 0" and that device is "hda", "grub-install /dev/hda" will install grub on the mbr of your boot device. If your boot device is other than "hda" use the appropriate device name (hdb,sda..etc.)the "df" command will let you see the mounted devices. If you see your boot device you should be able to install to it...if you don't, you must mount the device first. The grub-install command should output a report indicating a successful install on the correct device.
