Actually, there are a few other things to be aware of.
/boot/grub/device.map needs to have the following:
(hd2)	/dev/hdc

And the grub commands are basically:
| root (hd2,0)  # or wherever the /boot/grub directory will live
| setup (hd2)	# this actually writes the MBR.  If PBR is preferred, use
(hd2,0) or whatever.

Ooops.  Looks like that part was already covered.

| Assuming that the /boot/grub files are on /dev/hdc, yes.
