though you didn't put it in the MBR, or if you tried, it didn't
work. Maybe you need to have grub re-install itself and make sure,
this time, that you specify the right place.
One other thing to keep in mind - the BIOS may be set to boot from
the wrong drive. This is especially true with some of the "smart"
BIOSs. They keep tract of what disk you had selected to boot from,
and boots from that drive.

Another "gotchya" is that the drive order may be different when
booting from a DVD/CD/USB drive then when booting from the hard
drive. So /dev/sda may not be your boot drive when you select
booting from the hard drive. You can usually reset this in the BIOS...
