  one way that i might think of is to tell grub per commandline input which

  the other is to clone the mbr via dd and put it onto your cloned disk.

    Boot using rescue disk or Disk one and type linux rescue. The mount
    the partition containing root directory. The run grub-install using
    --root-directory=DIR option..
