I was wrong. dd does not give an error, but it does not actually repalce
the MBR. It still gives grub error 15.

Instead I need to boot a liveCD and run

mkldir /mnt/test
mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/test
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/boot
apt-get install grub
grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/test /dev/hda

Then the client reboots just fine.

Very strange. Well, I can't put a live CD in 100 machines, so I'll be
looking at the other solutions

1) upgrade systemimager
2) use a 2.4 kernel when running getimage
3) minimally populate /dev/ with hda, console, null and see if that
helps.

cheers,
Jan
