If you've installed grub (and it appears you have) they should be in /usr/share/grub/$ARCH/
Copy them all into /boot/grub

From the handbook
Code:
grub> root (hd0,0) (Specify where your /boot partition resides)
grub> setup (hd0) (Install GRUB in the MBR)
grub> quit (Exit the GRUB shell)
see the (Specify where your /boot partition resides) part

Hi there,
I have dual-boot Gentoo and CentOS on separate disks. I've faced the same problem.
Solution for me was:
Code:
grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/hda
