If you get a GRUB command line but no selection menu, you can think GRUB
*is installed* on the MBR but just doesn't know your configuration.

Then, I think you should first double check the config file of GRUB.
Where do you save it? It should be /boot/grub/menu.lst or
/boot/grub/grub.conf

If your boot partition is hda1, you also need to make sure that the
/boot is mounted properly.

That is:
 $ mount /dev/hda1 /boot
 $ vim /boot/grub/grub.conf (or menu.lst)
