Yes, there is.  Boot into rescue mode with your RH 9 Disk1 ("linux
rescue").  Let it mount the filesystems.  Then

  chroot /mnt/sysimage
  grub-install /dev/hda
  exit
  exit

Yes, exit twice - once out of the chroot, once out of rescue.  It
should reboot.  Pop out the CD.  You should get a GRUB screen.
