I did indeed have grub install on hdb, but the boot order in BIOS was
correct. I tried disconnecting hdb but got "error 21". What ended up
working for me was editting the boot stanza in grub to point to my hda
install, then running grub-install from there. Still don't know why it
didn't work in the chroot though, would be interested to find out.
