Mine has:

(fd0)     /dev/fd0
(hd0)     /dev/hda

The installation method via 'grub-install' might get confused if you 
don't have the hd entry. But the method via 'setup' should work, and it 
has worked as you can boot manually. You're probably right, grub can't 
find menu.lst.
Just a guess: Do you have grub.conf in your /boot/grub which in the 
RedHat world seems to be the real thing to which menu.lst only is a link.
