Uups, that's my fault. I forgot to tell you to adjust the file
/boot/grub/grub.conf after removing the small hd. Sorry.
To fix it:
boot from CD to rescue mode and chroot to your new system partition
(/dev/hda3) again, as you did when you installed the new mbr.
Then change dir to /boot/grub and open the file grub.conf in vi:
vi grub.conf
(or menu.list, there is a symbolic link to it)
your should find some lines like:
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.blabla)
root (hd1,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.blabla ro root=/dev/Volume00/RH
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.blabla.img
move the cursor below the 1 in (hd1,2) and change the 1 to a 0 (in vi:
press the key r (for replace), then the key 0 and then escape).
Afterwards leave the vi by pressing :wq
Maybe it's a good idea, to make a backup copy first :-)
root (hd0,2) means: use the first hd (0 ist the first, 1 the second) and
there the third partition (hda3; again 0 denotes the first partition) as
the root partition
grub-install should have adjust the device map, but it doesn't matter
here.
Hope it helps!
