You're right, it wasn't necessary to chroot.  I simply mounted the drives 
and issued the command "grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/target /dev/hda" 
and it worked.  For good measure, before I rebooted, I chrooted and ran 
update-grub, but I'm not certain that was necessary.  Now, all my kernels 
are back and working.

Thanks Philippe!
