well, the installer always puts grub.conf in /boot/grub/grub.conf and if it isn't there, you aren't going to be able to boot. Apparently during the installation, you must have told the installer to put grub somewhere other than the default location. You probably want to re-install and use the defaults unless you are sure...especially when it asks you where to install the bootloader. Also, fwiw, make a 100Mb RAID 1 partition for /boot on all of the drives.
