I can't tell from your posting. When you issued the grub-install cammand
did you previously mount the partition that contained the boot directory
and ran the grub-install from there. Really you need to have the F14
partition with /sbin mounted also if that is a different partition that
the one holding the boot directory and run it from that partition.
