I never use grub-install command myself. I like the interactive prompt 
you get when running the grub command. Which is the same prompt as you 
get when hitting 'c' in the grub menu..

grub
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
quit

This will use the first partition of the first harddrive as the place 
where grub will find the kernel and initramdisk (usually the /boot 
partition). It then sets up the grub binary on the MBR of the first 
harddisk (hd0). :) It's nice to use this interface if you want to set up 
several MBRs, e.g. when booting from RAID1.


Getting used to that interface gives you an edge when working on a 
messed up system as well.
