Assuming you have a device.map already configured, this should work: 

$ grub 
grub> root (hd0,0) 
grub> setup (hd0) 
grub> quit 
$ 

The 'root' line should have the drive/partition that either has or is your 
'boot' dir (to cover both the cases where you have a separate /boot 
partition and where you don't, it automatically looks in both /boot/grub and 
/grub on the specified device to find the stageXX images to install). 

HTH,
