Actually that sequence is needed with lilo. And if you do the grub-install in the abreviated form it will install the grub present on knoppix and not the one on the system. It should work fine in most cases, but you never know ...
But more important, I forgot grub-install needs the install device, so it should be
grub-install /dev/hda
This will put it on the MBR of the hdd.
