Ron....asuming that you let it install the default grub
bootloader the below is cut and pasted from the command:

How to create a GRUB boot floppy with the menu interface?
The easiest way is:
1. Create filesystem in your floppy disk. For example:
$ mke2fs /dev/fd0
2. Mount it on somewhere, say, `/mnt'.
3. Copy the GRUB images to `/mnt/boot/grub'. Only
`stage1',
`stage2' and `menu.lst' are necessary. You may not
copy
"stage1.5"s.
4. Run the following command:
$ /sbin/grub --batch <<EOT
root (fd0)
setup (fd0)
quit
