Thanks, Yonas, but no success:

# /sbin/grub-install /dev/hda
Not found or not a block device.

If I replace hda with hdb or hdc, grub-install gives the same result.

Any further ideas?

Now, I am using a Knoppix liveCD, and having some progress:

$ grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/hdc1/boot/ /dev/hda
/dev/hda does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
$

Can we go further?

Have you partitioned the drive yet, Paul?
