(1) The BIOS was not properly seeing the /dev/hda drive, so grub was
confused about which drive had /boot.

(2) If /boot is not on the same drive as grub, then grub must be installed
from the grub shell using the install command, so that the location of the
config file can be hard-coded into the stage 2 loader.

It's working now.
