When grub first boots up, hit ESC and go to the menu.

Press 'c' for command.

type at the grub prompt:

'root (' and hit tab.  That should fill in hd0, hd1, etc.

Then finish telling grub where the kernel is located.  Since you have a
'/boot' partition at the very front, you would type:

root (hdx,0)

where 'x' is the drive number 0,1,2, etc.  hda = 0, hdb = 1, etc.

hit enter

then type:

setup (hdx)

where x is where you want the MBR to be written.  hda = 0, hdb=1, etc.

and hit enter.  type 'quit' > enter.

Grub error 15 normally indicates that grub cannot locate where your
kernel.  If that doesn't work, post back with your 'menu.lst'.
