Try looking in the gnu info pages for grub, I don't think there's a man page
for it: `info grub`. You'll need the section labelled installation/hard-drives.
IIRC it involves invoking the grub shell telling it where your grub boot
info is and then setting up your drive like so:
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
(hd0,5)
grub> root (hd0,5)
grub> setup (hd0)
...some installation msgs here... then done...
In the previous example the argument to the root command is the output to find
command, it will be different on your system. For this case it was partition 5
(/dev/hda6) as grub starts numbering partitions from zero. /dev/hda is
represented by the hd0 also starting from zero.
