Since  root (hd0,0) mounts into [what linux calls "/boot"], then if it looks 
for  (hd0,0)/boot/grub, it will be looking in   /boot/boot/grub  in Linux 
terms.    Assuming always that /dev/hda1 is mounted as /boot in Linux, which 
it is in my system.    In other words /boot/boot/grub is correct, I think.
