Thanks for the response, Clive. Turns out I was doing things the proper way; it's just that something was screwy with the MBR I reckon. (hd0 refers to the first hard drive that the BIOS lists, not to the first hard drive on the first IDE port -- go figure).
Anyway, I finally got tired of fighting it, and wiped the partitions and repartitioned (using slightly different sizes to make sure I didn't just resurrect the old setup) and reinstalled the Hurd, and this time grub installed to the hard drive like it was supposed to. I have no explanation.
I'm going to wipe it once more and do it again, just for experimentation purposes, before continuing on into Hurd-land.
