I installed grub to /dev/hda which worked fine but its configuration was not correct. Here's the relevant section of its configuration: title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.4.22-1-386 root (hd1,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1-386 root=/dev/sda2 ro initrd /initrd.img-2.4.22-1-386 savedefault boot The problem is that it's looking for the kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1-386 on the root of (hd1,1), but (hd1,1) is the wrong partition. (hd1,1) is /dev/sda2 which is my / partition. The (hd1,1) above should be (hd0,0) which is /dev/hda1 which is my /boot partition. Other than that the install went well.
