Default GRUB won't boot

I have a system that won't boot off the HD - I installed RedHat and chose
GRUB as the boot loader, but the BIOS comes up and says no OS is found. If
I boot off floppy it will boot fine.

I have tried running > grub-install /dev/hda
and
>grub-install --root-directory=/boot

/dev/hda
but neither allowed me to boot from the Harddrive.

Is there a way to see what/where grub is installed and where the bios is
looking for the os ??

My disk is as follows :

Device boot start end type
/dev/hda1 * 1 13 Linux
/dev/hda2 14 2401 Linux
/dev/hda3 24902 2498 Linux swap

/dev/hda2 /
/dev/hda1 /boot
none /dev/shm

Geoff.
