I run:
grub-install /dev/hda

Nothing special... on boot I grub starts and goes into rescue prompt.
There is no proper documentation... So I don't know what else I can do.
I think I have a proper grub.cfg but I don't think I got to the stage
it actually can be read. As ls command command shows empty output.

But this is basic... the module is loaded... I understand that the
disk may not be detected, but I expect command to be available.
