stage1 missing

After rewreading the instructions a couple times to make sure I didn't omit anything, I get an error during Instruction XVII, part 4.

The grub console ( that's what I like to call it :) ) doesn't seem to detect /boot/grub/stage1... Here is my output:

  1. grub> root (hd2,0)
  2. Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
  3. grub> setup (hd2)
  4. setup (hd2)
  5. Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no
  6. Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
  7. Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd1) /boot/grub/stage2
  8. p /boot/grub/menu.lst "... succeeded
  9. Done.

(My USB key was detected as HD2 because I have 2 Hard Drives... HD0 and HD1)
I checked, and stage1 and stage2 actually DO exist. Am I supposed to run grub within the "jail" or outside? (I ran mine outside)
