You have identified the problem:
The grub stage files are not installed on the hard disk.
Solution: Install the grub stage files, and the grub application on your
hard disk before installing it as the loader.
How: ?
You can install the grub application using whatever method you would
normally use to install software on your system. You don't say which
GNU/Linux distro you are using, so I can only tell you in general
terms. When the application have been installed, then you should verify
the grub stage files are present at /boot/grub. Also, make a menu.lst (or
grub.conf) at that location, too.
Once grub is installed (the application), then launch it from a _bash_
shell:
root@somebox# grub --no-floppy
grub>root (hdx,y)
grub>setup (hdx)
grub>quit
Watch for errors after each command. I have substituted x and y for
numeric values which are system dependant. For example, if you have
installed grub on your primary hard disk at partition 1, then x=0 and y=0.
(remember: grub counts starting at zero.) Also, the root command in this
context tells grub where it should look for its stage files.
There may be some other ways around this problem because grub is
a flexible loader, but I have explained the standard procedure. You
should study of the grub manual until you understand what you are doing
before you break something. Making a mistake when installing the loader
can leave your system unbootable, or worse.
