thats the problem.  /boot partitions suck for this reason.

try this:

root (hd0,4)
setup --prefix=/grub (hd0) 

grub doesn't know about mountpoints, so since grub lives in /boot/grub
and /boot is its own partition that becomes /grub

its easier to just make your / partition small and do away with the
/boot partition entirely.
