I did it - all seems fine:

grub> root (hd0,4)
 Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83

grub> setup (hd0)
 Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
 Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
 Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes

succeeded
 Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+16 p (hd0,4)/boot/gr

Done.

The same problem. I've the grub-shell, not the menu. The root is defined
at this point - i have only type in to load the menu:

configfile /grub/menu.lst

Grub is installed as expected in the linux filesystem:
/boot/grub/menu.lst and /boot is /dev/hda5
