given that output, there is no reason that running

'grub-install /dev/sda' should give you an error.
you should be able to boot if you can run that command (booting into
linux rescue mode and first, 'chroot /mnt/sysimage' as I described
earlier.

You can add a 'verbose' to that command...

grub-install -v /dev/sda

so that it provides more feedback. I have to believe that /dev/sda1
is /boot and should have also been mounted during 'rescue' mode.
