There is no reason why this should not have worked.
Maybe you made a mistake when asked about the bootloader
during installation?

In any case, I would use the CDs in rescue mode
(type "linux rescue" when booting)
chroot to /mnt/sysimage, as advised,
check /etc/grub.conf and if it is OK
run "grub-install --recheck /dev/hda".
