As there doesn't seem to be a system tool which can install a boot loader on red Hat (which sucks), it was a question of getting the grub command right. I don't think the grub docs are entirely correct, or if so, they're inadequate from my point of view, but this did the trick:
grub --device-map /boot/grub/device.map --batch <<EOF root (hd0,1) setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0) quit EOF /boot = /dev/hda2 /dev/hda = hd0 It also needs correct lines (and a kernel root= ) in /boot/grub/grub.conf, but they're easy to work out.
