I don't know what happens here... but I also don't know why you need to 
install grub on every drive. I have four IDE drives /dev/hd[abef], grub 
stage 1 is installed in the MBR of hda, but stage 2 in in the /boot 
partition located on hde. I installed like this:

# grub
root (hd2,0)
setup (hd0)
quit
