GRUB from CVS is a source code package... there are no binaries
included.

Read the instructions in the `INSTALL' file to compile GRUB.
Basically, it amounts to:

 $ touch aclocal.m4
 $ touch configure
 $ ./configure
 $ make

This will generate `stage1/stage1' and `stage2/stage2', which you can
use for installation.
