Yeah, I did something like that from the info pages, but it brought up the 
grub shell on boot--it wasn't finding my grub.conf file.

Then I got it to bring up the menu on boot, but it created /boot/boot/grub/
which I didn't want.  Per the info pages, this worked

grub> root (hd0,4)
grub> install /grub/stage1 d (hd0) /grub/stage2 p /grub/grub.conf

it's all good now.

This all started because my /boot partition is too small.  (Tip: Don't try 
to move /boot when it's mounted)

Now off to see if gpartd will resize partitions.
