It's probably simpler to run "setup" instead of "install" when you invoke grub from the Etch installer. You'd just need two commands:

  root (hd0,0)
  setup (hd0)

That should take care of the menu as well, so you don't have to muck about in the grub console after rebooting--not that it's particularly hard to do that... but this is just a *little* easier. :-)
