My buddy Alex helped me fix this. I had to use Grub to write the new
/boot/grub/menu.lst to the MBR.

So:

First, get into grub

ja...@jakes-desktop:~$ grub
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.

       [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.   For
         the   first   word,  TAB  lists  possible  command
         completions.  Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
         completions of a device/filename. ]

Now look for menu.lst

grub> find /boot/grub/menu.lst
find /boot/grub/menu.lst
 (hd0,0)
 (hd1,0)
 (hd2,0)


Make sure the menu.lst is the one you want.

grub> cat (hd0,0)/boot/grub/menu.lst                       
cat (hd0,0)/boot/grub/menu.lst                             
# menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8)       
#            grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8),              
#            grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub           
#            and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/.
...


Make sure stage1 is on the same partition you're going to use

### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
find /boot/grub/stage1
 (hd0,0)
 (hd1,0)
 (hd2,0)
grub> root (hd0,0)

grub> setup (hd0)

I rebooted and it works fine. Thanks!
