It is possible, it is even mentionned in the documentation. (type
"info grub").
There are two ways to do that:
1) without installing a filesystem:
dd if=stage1 of=/dev/floppy bs=512 count=1
dd if=stage2 of=/dev/floppy bs=512 seek=1
2) with installation of a fs:
mkfs -t whatever /dev/floppy
mkdir -o /floppy_mount_point/boot/grub
cp stage1 stage2 menu.lst /floppy_mount_point/boot/grub
echo << _EOF | grub --batch
root (fd0)
install /boot/grub/stage1 (fd0) /boot/grub/stage2 0x8000 /boot/grub/menu.lst
quit
_EOF
Choise nr 2 is longer but much more flexible because that way you can
install a kernel (or other files) and a grub config file.
With choice nr 1 you directly enter grub interactive mode.
