You can run the grub-install from the rescue disk by the following
commands (assume you have the root partition mounted on /mnt/newroot)
## 1st, you need to create /dev/sda<xxx> or /dev/hda<xxx> devices
## (depending on your kernel and hard disk) on /mnt/newroot/dev
## sda
mknod /mnt/newroot/dev/sda b 8 0
mknod /mnt/newroot/dev/sda1 b 8 1
## hda
mknod /mnt/newroot/dev/hda b 3 0
mknod /mnt/newroot/dev/hda1 b 3 1
## 2nd, chroot to the installed root & grub-install
chroot /mnt/newroot
mount /sys ## I'm not sure if you really need this command
## Anyway, You should have sysfs in your fstab
#### if you need to make init ram disk:
## /sbin/mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-<kernel-name>.img <kernel-name>
/sbin/grub-install /dev/sda
I did it several times to duplicate a Fedora installation.
I have a script that does all the needed operation: fdisk, mkfs, mkswap
mount and untarring, fix some etc files (motd, mail) and grub install.
I advise you to at least delete the /etc/ssh/ssh_host* files (they will
be recreated - i.e. new keys - when you run sshd).
