Warty GRUB won't install

I've got a situation with a fairly-new Warty install that's not quite
complete yet --
among other things, I haven't been able to install GRUB.
When I try, I get this:
root at maguire:/boot # grub-install /dev/hda
/dev/hdb1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
I guess the reason it's complaining about /dev/hdb1 is probably that
the /boot partiton
resides there, as does the rest of the Warty stuff. /dev/hda is
reserved for WinXP
which I need for my classes. I have no idea why there's a BIOS problem with it.
So, for the moment, I'm sticking with an old RedHat Lilo startup which is what I
had before Warty. I'd like to drop both the RedHat and LILO stuff completely.
Anybody have a suggestion?
