Just to avoid confusion, I'll reiterate what you have already so clearly
pointed out earlier in this thread. The above messages indicte that
grub is looking for (hd0,0)/boot/grub/Stage1 (which Linux calls
/boot/boot/grub/Stage1) and then, when that's not found,
(hd0,0)/grub/Stage1 (which Linux calls /boot/grub/Stage1). Okay, so
maybe I increased the confusion!
good times,
Vineet
