I've helped look into this for the OP.

It seems the part that is failing is:

# /usr/sbin/grub-install --force "(hd0)"
/usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: error: disk `hd0' not found.

Which I thought was odd, so I created a device.map file:

# echo "(hd0) /dev/sda" > /boot/grub/device.map
# /usr/sbin/grub-install --force "(hd0)"
Installation finished. No error reported.

At the end of the grub-bios-setup help page it says:
DEVICE must be an OS device (e.g. /dev/sda).
