Grub did not install on dual boot machine.

Dear experts,

On another Dell machine, I installed Redhat Advanced
Server 2.1 last night. Twice, actually.

There are two hard drives. XP is on the first
hard drive, and also has the first partition for
backup on the second drive.

Linux is installed on the subsequent partitions
on the second disk.

Everything seemed to go well, except that,
grub did not install. But the boot floppy worked.
grub.conf seems to be fine. So it seems that there
is something wrong with the MBR.

I want grub to come up upon booting and give me
the choice of Linux, or Windows, just like on my
other dual boot machine. This uses the MBR.

I'm sure that the solution is to use grub-install.
Will others concur with this? What is the exact
syntax that I should use?

Thanks a lot
