Very simple. I always suggest and resort to the Grub boot floppy in cases
like this.
Install grub-doc. Then:
$ info grub
(scroll down to) Installation <Enter>
(scroll down to) Creating a GRUB boot floppy:: <Enter>
(follow the instructions)
Reboot to floppy, and
$ info grub
(scroll down to) Installation <Enter>
(scroll down to) Installing GRUB natively:: <Enter>
(follow the instructions - print them out so that you have them after
your boot to the grub boot-floppy)
Worx.
I bet someone will say, 'hé, we have a grub-disk as .deb and apt-get
install is easier than the creation of a grub floppy !'
In my opinion, the creation helps to read the info grub that is needed
anyway later to re-install the MBR.
