This one is supposed to be fixed by recent support of grub2 within grml2hd - 
closing this bugreport. Please feel free to reopen this issue if you encounter 
any further problems, thanks!

Did you use the interactive or non-interactive mode? 
I just fixed a bug in the non-interactive mode for grub producing the same
results as you mention.

Thanks for reporting.
You did choose 'MBR' and 'grub' within grml2hd, right?

I had the same problem with grub installation from grml2hd.  I fixed the grub
install by manually repairing grub.
In a shell as root user, initiate grub.

grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
grub> root (hd0,1) (use value returned by find command)
grub> setup (hd0) (use value returned by find command)
grub> quit
reboot

JFTR: User selected 'MBR' and 'grub' within grml2hd but grub isn't visible but 
instead Windows booted.

fdisk -l output:

nachdem ich vorher freebsd installiert hatte, zeigt er jetzt seltsamerweise
freebsd an, es wurde aber ext3 als Filesystem ausgewaehlt.
