# chroot /mnt/sysimage

(make sure /boot is mounted and you see the correct files there)

# grub-install --recheck /dev/hda

Recheck is optional, but I use it to see what grub is thinking.
/dev/hda is typical, but you really want it to be wherever you installed
grub to in the first place (anaconda puts this on the #boot= line in
grub.conf).

# exit   (gets you out of the chroot)
# exit   (should cause the machine to reboot)
