How can I determine the device on which the mbr is placed? I tried the following:
# chroot /mnt/sysimage
# grub-install /dev/hda
However, I am not sure if hda is correct (no error messages though).
When I reboot, I get the black with the words GRUB

As I shared on this forum last week, I did a bad boo boo when I erased my /boot/ directory without a backup - all of the things I caution other NOT to do. Nevertheless, after trying to put things back in order, today I decided to try a reboot and I get a GRUB prompt.
Next I have put my Linux 4 disk in the CD drive and have selected the "linux repair" mode which has put me into the /mnt/sysimage with the # prompt. That is as far as I have gone since I am in uncharted waters.
Help! It, the linux repair, has found and identified that I have a Linux system...what should I try next?

The grub repair is covered well in this archived email:
