[wplug] GRUB won't update MBR

Hi list.
I installed a hardware ATA RAID 1 controller in a RH7.2 machine. After
much trouble, I've managed to install GRUB on the MBR, but it insists on
trying to boot /dev/hda1, while my current disks are /dev/hde and
/dev/hdg. I thought that having the correct grub.conf and running
grub-install /dev/hde was all it took, but it doesn't seem to be so easy.
Right now I have to edit the boot options manually every time and change
the root= clause to /dev/hde1. It then boots just fine.
Anyone have any instructions for wiping out a MBR and installing the one I
want?! grub-install is giving me "no corresponding BIOS drive" errors, and
yeah, these drives are on a PCI controller.
I know I sound confusing, because I *am* confused! :-(
Thanks
