Grub not properly installing.

[Dotan Cohen]

I am installing Karmic on a desktop with two root partitions for
different distros. Currently Jaunty is in sdb1 and Karmic is in sdb2.
The bios is configured to boot from sdb and when installing Karmic I
confirmed in the Advanced tab that Grub will be installed to sdb.
However, Grub remained unchanged when installing and there is no
option for booting from sdb2.

I figured that I would edit the grub menu in sdb1/boot/grub/menu.lst
however there is a good chance that I will be testing other distros in
sdb1 so I do not want to rely on it. I tried reinstalling Grub from a
LiveCD with the following command but there was no change in
behaviour:
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/root /dev/sdb

How does one configure Grub to use menu.lst from sdb2 instead of from sdb1?
