That actually worked previously with Red Hat (on a different hard drive).

I just tried it on this setup and got:

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

<grub>  setup (hd0)
Checking if "/boot/grub/Stage1" exists ... no
Checking if "/grub/Stage1" exists ... no
Error 15: File not found

/boot/boot/grub/Stage1 does exist, though.   (And df confirms that I have got 
/dev/hda1 mounted as /boot)

For some reason GRUB can't see the files.    
<grub>  find  "/boot/grub/stage1"   (or any other file) brings up a 'File not 
found'
