Simply put, the guide in the thread Jeff pointed too will run the commands that I mentioned, and a few others, for you. It's the path to take it you are in a hurry, don't want to make a mistake, and aren't sure you want to dive in to doing it manually just yet. The result should be identical. Its the magic of dpkg.
You should try it sometime though! chrooting is the root's boots. Not that you need it, just makes you sound smart. "Yeah I chrooted in from a live system and loop mounted /dev so I could install LiLo. You know, Tuesday." Crap I forgot to mention the /dev mount to you yeah do that other thing... Enjoy your grub recovery!
