Two suggestions.
1) I have found that grub files in r3 have to be copied using -o notail on
the mount command. If you do not use notail, the files are not able to be
read by grub.
2) do not try and create a grub boot while in the r3 partition. Make sure
the partition is unmounted, then boot from a live cd and run grub from
there.
e.g. in your case, with /dev/hdc2 being your root
root(hd2,1)
# at this point grub should respond that filesystem is reiserfs
setup(hd2)
# at this point, grub should install the boot loader.
# unless hdc is NOT your boot disk. If not, then use hd0 or 1.
If not, try recopying /boot/grub by doing this from the live cd.
mount /dev/hdc2 /mnt/wherever -o notail,rw,[noatime]
cd /boot
cp -rP grub grub2
rm -fr grub
mv grub2 grub
then umount it and try the grub commands above.
I have had lots of woes with grub and reiser 3/4. This seems to work for
me.
