Installation of Grub

Grub needs a patch applied that fixes a compile problem with GCC-3.3.1:

patch -Np1 -i ../grub-0.93-gcc33-1.patch

Prepare Grub for compilation:

./configure --prefix=/usr

Compile the package:

make

And install it:

make install
mkdir /boot/grub
cp /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/stage{1,2} /boot/grub

Replace i386-pc with whatever directory is appropriate for your hardware.

The i386-pc directory also contains a number of *stage1_5 files, different ones for different filesystems. Have a look at the ones available and copy the appropriate ones to the /boot/grub directory. Most people will copy the e2fs_stage1_5 and/or reiserfs_stage1_5 files.
