Not sure you need any of that if your boot/rescue environment has grub.
then
root (hd0,1) setup (hd0) quit
I get the following: root (hd0,1) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 setup (hd0) Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... no
Error 2: Bad file or directory quit
I have checked that the stage1 file is in /boot/grub/ So Im confused.
Either your rsync copy of the boot filesystem was not complete, or what grub thinks is (hd0,1) is not the filesystem where you put it.

Hi Les.
Just to clarify my understanding of grub's syntax for hard disk partitions /dev/sda = hd0 /dev/sda1 = hd0,0 /dev/sda2 = hd0,1
Thanks Greg
