You're almost there. Try to mount all your partition under /mnt and run
chroot

# mount -t proc none /mnt/proc
# mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev
# chroot /mnt /bin/bash
# grub
grub> root (hd0,1)
grub> setup (hd0)

Take note that in root(hd0,1) 1 is where your boot partition reside, then
your /boot must be in the first partition, then it must be root(hd0,0),
always subtract 1.

Let us know how it goes.

Cheers,

Jay
