`--root-directory=DIR'
Install GRUB images under the directory DIR instead of the root
directory. This option is useful when you want to install GRUB
into a separate partition or a removable disk. Here is an
example when you have a separate "boot" partition which is
mounted on `/boot':
grub-install --root-directory=/boot '(hd0)'
The problem is here. "grub-install" has installed the images of grub
under the root directory, where it can't find the /boot/grub/menu.lst
since this file is on another partition.
Please use the command above to install correctly GRUB.
