It's possible that update-grub will only inspect the current /boot,
rather than scouring every partition the kernel can see.  (I don't
recall precisely.)  If that's the case, you might try booting the
Ubuntu installer in rescue mode.  It will give you option of mounting
any of your system's partitions as the root file system.  Pick
/dev/sdb1, and once it reaches a shell, then run update-grub and
grub-install.
