Google up a copy of 'Zen and the Art of Using Grub'. It has good, step-by-step instructions.

1. Install grub
2. enter grub environment: ~ # grub

From grub environment:
3. root (hd0,0)
4. setup(hd0)
5. quit

You would replace hd0,0 with whatever partition your /boot partition is... and hd0 with whatever physical harddrive your /boot partition is on.
