Last screen of configuration during install, button on the bottom right says "Advanced". Click it. From there you can direct grub to be installed anywhere you want.

I used to have an OS installed on sdb but for some reason it wouldn't boot wouldn't work unless I changed hd(1,1) to hd(0,1) though your computer might be different. You'll probably have to guess/check by hitting e in the grub menu and editing the parameters at boot. Once you find something that works, you can change it permanently in your OS.

I would personally just backup your menu.lst file, then run SuperGrub. It's a bootable disk that does a really good job of finding OSs and setting up Grub.
