That's not going to help if /boot is a separate partition.  You need
to separately tell GRUB where to find the stage1.5 and stage2 files
and where to install the boot sector; the Info manual suggests that
you want

  root (hd0,0)
  setup (hd0)

In this situation, I believe /boot/boot/grub is the correct directory.
