You can install GRUB from different ways:

- Using Debian installer
- Using SuperGrubDisk
- Using GRUB's own tools ("grub-install", "setup")

In all these options, you can either install GRUB into MBR of the first 
disk (specifiying "hd0"), or into the boot sector of the second partition 
("hd0,1").

This is for GRUB legacy, which I use to install. I cannot find the 
official docs for GRUB2, but it should be pretty similar.
