allright.
But trying to install the new mbr gives:
grub> root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83

Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no
Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... no
Error 15: File not found
Of course, /boot/grub/stage1 is there.
So I'm stuck with a half installed grub and dare not reboot. I
re-emerged the
last version to no avail.
Any practical advice before I re-emerge previous grub version?

Is /boot mounted?
Grub has made a guess as to which drive to call hd0. Perhaps it guessed
wrong?
running:
grub
find /boot/grub/stage1
will tell where grub sees the specified file
Unrelated thought:
if you had an inode_size problem the error would be:
grub> setup (hd1)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no
Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... no
Error 2: Bad file or directory type
