You can:

Done - no problem. There's /, /home, and swap.
the reason grub didn't work, was because it couldn't find the /boot
partition while chrooted.
if still in rescue mode:
mount /mnt/sysimage first, then mount /mnt/sysimage/boot with the boot
partition, THEN chroot /mnt/sysimage and grub-install should work
But there is no separate /boot partition. The /boot directory lives in
/. I used to make a separate /boot partition, but was told a while back
(perhaps 2 years or so) that this was no longer necessary.
You might also want to check to see if the system will boot after /boot
was fscked, and failing that, to see if the rescue would now work properly.
Running fsck on / did nothing.
Other things to look for:
after mounting /mnt/sysimage and /mnt/sysimage/boot
does /mnt/sysimage/boot/grub exist and have a grub.conf in it?
It does exist, and doesn't look corrupted in any way. Just for the sake
of thoroughness, I changed the "kernel" line to point to /dev/sda1
rather than the device ID. No dice.
install-grub as described does not attempt to repair a broken grub.conf
Thanks for your patience, and help,
