I recently reinstalled RedHat 9 from scratch. Thinking it would be good to have a boot-floppy, I said "yes" when prompted to make a boot floppy. Now, I realize, that was really asking if I wanted to make a boot floppy INSTEAD of installing GRUB on the /dev/hda.
I don't think that's correct. Anaconda asks you where you want to install grub early on. The boot floppy is created after grub is already installed to the hard drive (IIRC).
You probably chose to install grub to the first sector of the boot partition, rather than the MBR. Check /boot/grub/grub.conf, the "boot=" line may confirm that (but may not... I've never installed grub anywhere but the MBR).
How do I get it to install on /dev/hda?
Boot the system up, and: # grub-install /dev/hda
