Grub and MBR

When grub is loaded into the /boot partition, and not the MBR, do we have to manually load it into MBR? I had a strange situation where there was no grub.conf file when I installed CentOS. Does this have anything to do with where Grub is loaded on installation?

No, you don't have to do that.
What do you see when your system first boots up? (Immediately after the BIOS screen disappears) Do you see a blue screen that says:
Press any key to enter menu
Booting CentOS (2.6.18-8.e15) in 3 seconds...
If so, then press a key quickly to see GRUB boot options

I was getting a loading GRUB...
I searched in every way to find grub.conf (wasn't in boot/grub) and even did a search in grub> file not found.
I reinstalled and it is working now. I have no idea what happened.

Was that with the live CD or the installation CD? - Rich
