Selecting correct device for multiboot |

Hi list,
I am a grub user.
Now I usually install grub in the HD mbr if over-written by another instal like
this..
# grub
grub>grub root (hd0,0)
grub>setup (hd0)
This time there was a error.
So I read the GRUB instructions (hardcopy) which is quite extensive.
Found another command..
grub>find /boot/grub/stage1
Now this gives 4 different devices with stage1 .. see below please. This is
because I have various installs using grub.
Again I studied the instructions .. but .. for me it is not clear which is
which.. should the wrong setup be given the writing will be in the wrong place
.. probably creating more chaos.
Now what worries me is what would the correct command for setup be to use hd0,0
mbr and hd0,9 stage1.
Please could I get some pointers here..
for the above short way .. long way see bottom..note.
**************
#grub
GRUB version 0.93 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)
[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB
lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
completions of a device/filename. ]
grub> root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is fat, partition type 0xc
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
(hd0,5)
(hd0,9).............this is the one I want to use.
(hd1,4)
(hd1,8)
grub>setup (hd0)
