I also tried grub-install on /dev/sdb, the SCSI drive. This had no affect either. There's no evidence that GRUB is loading.
in this case, you could try a floppy disk (formatted ext2 with the grub mbr and a /grub directory) (see the grub HOWTO for directions to make it). Then you can boot off the floppy and tab/edit your way through the boot command to see which drives/partitions the bios/grub can see.
Has anyone run into this problem? Is there a way to restore GRUB after adding this drive, short of doing another Ubuntu install?
you can use the grub floppy for the moment, then run grub-install once you have the machine booted
