Have you looked at the HantsLUG wiki? There's a note on there about how
to restore LILO. The same applies when using GRUB. Ignore step 9 and at
step 10 you want to run your "grub-install" command instead of running
"lilo".
http://www.hants.lug.org.uk/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?LinuxHints/LostLILO
You'll probably find your grub-install and fdisk commands failed because
/proc and /dev aren't mounted inside the chroot, so /dev/hda et al
dosen't exist. Step 6 brings /dev from the LiveCD you're using in to
your chroot. This is what you're missing.
Nearly there!
Regards,
David.
