New Re: Grub question
You were missing the device, grub-install assume you only want in the partition you specify as the booting device.

Also just to make sure your mounts are like this:
/        = sda5

/boot = sda6


And you are mounting that like this, during grub-install
/mnt         = sda5

/mnt/boot = sda6


If that is the case...

This will install the boot loader into the mbr:

grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda

You may need "--recheck" additionally...

Otherwise, I'm not sure.
New I got it fixed
It turned out that I needed to get the 9.04 ubuntu install image, not the 9.10... it's a known problem that this happens when you use the 9.10 install cd to put it on a system installed from an earlier version. I downloaded and burned the 9.04 install, and basically did the exact same thing and it came right up.

Seems kind of dumb... I actually used the 9.10 install cd because I'd done the dist-upgrade to 9.10 several weeks back, but it turns out that's a no-no.
New /me still uses Debian Sid.
Probably never will change.
