You seem not to listen to me. ;) I am going to copy-paste from another 
email that I sent to you before. If you have any doubts do not hesitate 
to ask them:



Previous to the menu.lst you need to:

Format to vfat or ext2 the floppy.

Create there a /boot folder.
Create there a /boot/grub folder.

Copy stage1, stage2 and ( ext2fs_stage1_5 or fat_stage1_5 ) files to 
/boot/grub.

(OPTIONALLY) Create a menu.lst in /boot/grub/menu.lst (in the floppy)


The menu configuration is:

title Install GRUB to a floppy
root (fd0)
setup (fd0)
pause GRUB has been installed to the floppy

==========

Now let's see... either you copy and paste the menu configuration to 
your hard disk menu.lst and when you boot you select this boot entry 
(with your floppy disk in the floppy drive).

Either you run the root (fd0) and setup (fd0) from  a grub shell.
pause command is optional.
