Alternativaly, you can run the grub-install script and point it directly to th "/dev" reference of the hard-disk. In Example, if you want to install grub into the MBR of the "/dev/hda" disk, type te following command:

"grub-install /dev/hda"

WARN: This command requires the grub tree files under the "/boot" dir.

Hate to reply to my own post, but I found the problem.  I didn't realize
that grub-install was segfaulting.  I had to use mkbootdisk to create a
boot disk which I use to boot into linux, where I ran grub-install
'(hd0)' which fixed everything.
