Its a shame that when I tried running grub-install.unsupported from teh LiveCD I got a message telling me there was no BIOS partition. This discouraged me from pursuing that avenue.
[ WTF is a 'BIOS Partition'? ]
The Grub script couldn't find /boot/grub/device.map, or at least it wasn't where it expected it to be, so didn't know how to convert from /dev/sda to (hd0), /dev/sdb to (hd1), etc. If you remove the /boot that shows up in a dirlist on a live CD boot, create a new /boot dir, and mount the partition in need of repair on /boot, then the script(s) will find device.map and you shouldn't see messages like that. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
