No.  Boot from Disk 1 of your RH distribution into rescue mode.  At
the boot prompt, put

  linux rescue

That will mount your linux installation on /mnt/sysimage.  Then

  chroot /mnt/sysimage
  grub-install /dev/hda
  exit
  exit

Then eject your CD and you should get a GRUB boot screen.

During the installation, you will be asked for the monitor make and
model.  Choose the closest one that fits.
