This makes it look like /boot is either on /dev/sda1 or /dev/sdb1.  You 
say you've tried hd(0,0) and it didn't work; have you tried hd(1,0) 
instead?  However, before trying that, use the LiveCD to examine what's 
on those two partitions.  If you find /boot on either one of them, 
you'll know which to use.
