Uhm what exactly is your problem and to what GRUB version does it apply?
You reported this bug against GRUB Legacy, i.e. 0.97.
This grub binary doestn't exist anymore with GRUB 2.
You have to use grub-install now just as you first did in this report,
before trying the grub command.

To generate grub.cfg it's still update-grub. But it's configured
differently now.
