I did some checking and it turns out the default --config-file parameter in the grub(8) shell program changed. 
In GNU GRUB 0.95 --config-file defaulted to /boot/grub/menu.lst
In GNU GRUB 0.97 --config-file defaults to /boot/grub/grub.conf

It looks like the grub(8) command to install grub needs to specify --config-file=/boot/grub/grub.conf which is odd behavior
