The man pages are very real explicit with example commands, but from
 info grub
and poking around a bit, it looks like you should have executed
 grub-install /dev/hda

In the past, when I have thought that command explanations were a bit
ambiguous, I've often gotten useful examples by googling on (say)
 grub-install examples
which works in this case, even better than grubbin' thru info <grin>
