Code:
apt-get install grub grub-doc
grub-install /dev/hda
Then you need to create grub a configuration file.
Code:
touch /boot/grub/menu.lst
xedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
I presume you have windows on the first hard disk. Try this in menu.lst
(edit accordingly for your own kernel)
Code:
timeout 10
title 2.6.3
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.3 ro root=/dev/hdb1 nomce vga=791
title Wimpdows
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

Well then it looks like you have everything you need except the kernel version:
uname -r
Oh and don't forget to do a little reading on grub. There are some key issues you need to understand before you will truly understand grub and I see no need to reproduce the docs here as they have already been written.
