missing /boot/grub in fc3


After installing one of the 2.6.9x kernels via up2date, I seem to have lost my /boot/grub directory.

Therefore, I'm having trouble telling grub to boot the latest 2.6.10 kernel that fc3 has released.

I read elsewhere that there are other who've experienced this if they had previously had another linux installed and had used LVM to format the disc.

Here are some helpful outputs:
ls -l /boot:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 53807 Jan 10 13:00 config-2.6.10-1.737_FC3

Any thoughts from anyone would be appreciated.
